I'm sure it's Hindra - compare the "H" with Henry, father of Kathrin on the 26th. The only letter I would not be sure of is the "n"

Thanks again

Different letters in each of the 2 entries are readable, but putting them together I am happy with Hindra. The 'e' for Hendra is very different compared to several e's on the page. However, I may be wrong :)

Why did they call a daughter Hindra and where did it come from? I have absolutely no idea from a Blundell view but it does seem to appear as an Indian sub-continent forename & surname.

regards
