I looked at it before reading any of the other posts and thought it was Rbt or Robt, with the t superscript, which would make it a short recording of Robert.
If you all saw Sam, I obviously need to go to SpecSavers!

I think there is a loop to under Charlotte's sticker to what I think is a capital 'S' .  I'm going for Saml.

(But then I would say that wouldn't I, Charlotte  ;D)

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
