Is the first letter of the name similar to the first letter of the address at the top of the page, but with the loop shorter because of the space restriction?

It looks like "Wysee" to me - not a real name I think though.

I notice that in 1881 an Alice BUDD b abt 1863 Chobham Surrey (not a match on birthplace I know) is in service in Chiswick. Also in the household is a boarder, Percy MYSEY(?) b abt 1861 Cheshunt Herts. Might they have married one another?

1881 ref: RG11/1352/15/23.

Percy can be seen as MEYERS in 1861 RG9/Piece: 802 Folio: 148 Page: 10 Cheshunt

Yes, (William) Henry Budd did die in 1891. Yes, his widow did re-marry Chudleigh. And yes, they do call themselves Budd on the 1901 census!

One of the differences between this and a scavenger hunt is that in the latter, people are encouraged/expected to give all the info they have right from the start   ::)

Perhaps I'm being a bit unfair on the OP as the first post only asked for opinions on deciphering a name! But there have been v few suggestions re that and lots of posts about trying to trace Mr Budd. I think if we want to continue to do the latter (and more to the point, if the OP wants us to!) -- then we need the info that may help.

I'm bowing out here - good luck in your hunt, OP, if the info is there then someone on RC will be able to find it for you! - but if you do want more help in trying to uncover the Budd background, then you'll need to put more info on the board. And do have a look at the scavenger hunts, one could b euseful to you!
