Faulkner. Help with first name please.
« on: Wednesday 18 October 17 07:44 BST (UK) »
I would be very grateful for help with this first name please. The surname is Faulkner and the writing would date to about 1840.

Louisa?

If you can add a source reference or a bit more of the scan it would consolidate opinions.

Thanks. A larger scan won’t help but context might. It is a signature pasted into a scrapbook belonging to Emma Faulkner, Sunderland, 1837.

Lavinia looks possible -  I can see both i’s dotted now.

I am most interested in the Falconer /Faulconer /Fawkner name and other similar names particularly in Sussex so more information would really help.
