Widow Of?
« on: Wednesday 19 December 12 00:10 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone work out who Sarah is the widow of?

It's beating a couple of us helping out on another thread.   :-\

Hi Dee,
Could it be "Wid. of Miner Dc [Deceased]"  ??? Doesn't really make sense (if she's a widow then he's obviously deceased) but that's about all I can see at the moment.
Have attached larger clip in case it helps...

It doesn't make sense from what we would expect to find, but I see it as Fundholder, Wid(ow) Mine &c.

Possibly referring to the type of funds she held rather than her late husband.  ???

And I think maybe between you you're on the right track. I did think possibly the first word was Mine.

Thank you both for that.    :)

Colin


"&c" would make sense :)

I don't think it's a name.

We were hoping for a name, but I'm sure Prue and Colin have it right.   :)
