COMPLETED - Could do with some help deciphering the witnesses surnames please!
« on: Saturday 13 February 10 11:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I would appreciate any thoughts on what the surnames of the two witnesses William and John could be.  Thanks.

Rosie,

What a star!  I can quite clearly see the x at the end of Fox now, unfortunately I thought it was a t!

Thank you :)

Do you mean the other names David?  If so I can read them, but for some reason I got myself in a pickle over the two witnesses surnames.

In case you are interested the marriage entry is for a Thomas Armitage to Martha Parker.

Hi Kath.

Glad you got them. I got as far as Armstrong - and that didn't look right anyway !

Should've gone to Specsavers  ;)
