deciphering census names
« on: Sunday 07 January 18 15:34 GMT (UK) »
On the 1891 census for Risby Suffolk, under the Charles Sturman family, listed is a nephew, William Smith age 23, but on the 1881 there is a William Smith age 14 his surname is illegible. Can anyone decipher the surname please, trying to establish if they are the same person.
Many thanks

The 1891 is on RG12/1448/111/11 and definitely Smith.. No sign of a William Sale in Risby on the 1891.
