Help Please is name Marlon or Marion or Muriel ?

[josey]

Let us know what you find....

Might this be her birth & possible siblings?
Births Jun 1914   
PERKINS    Phyllis    Murphy    W.Derby    8b   547   
Births Mar 1917 
Perkins    Charles    Murphy    W.Derby    8b   440    
[I don't see a death registered for him though to enable another Charles the following year]
Births Mar 1918 
Perkins    Charles F    Murphy    W. Derby    8b   845

with this possible marriage - just from the above surnames - only Perkins/Murphy marriage found:
Marriages Sep 1913 
Murphy    Mary    Perkins    W.Derby 8b   724
Perkins    Harry    Murphy    W.Derby 8b   724

Are you sure it doesn't say Muriel - second letter isn't as closed as the other 'a's

I agree Josey with the 'a' not being 'as' closed but I would say there's definitely no 'L' as the scribe seems to have very long upward strokes on letters with ascenders?

I agree that the final letter isn't an l because of the long upstrokes.  My immediate thought was it was Maria, as Rosie mentioned in Reply#1  but it does look like a boy (haircut especially) so .......

Thanks Josey for this, will send for the Certificates.
Thanks everyone else for your input and help.
I am now of the opinion also it is not Muriel, or a girl.

It couldn't possibly be Marvin or Mervin, could it?

I think it looks like 'Marin'? A variant of Mary.
