Reading Fathers Forename
« on: Monday 22 January 18 19:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I need some help identifying the Name of the Father on the attached Marriage certificate. I hope this is an easy one for someone as it's a forename. The Surnames are Stainrod & Robinson I think the second one is David or Daniel? But the top one??? is it just the initials? Thanks in advance if you can help, Paul

Maybe shortened version of James or Thomas?

Or not!

I agree with Daniel, but in the first one, the second letter is far more like most examples of 'n' in the extract than 'a'.

I therefore think it's Jno, for John - though I admit the superscript 'o' has an unnecessary extra line leading off it at the top. My best guess would be that it was written at speed, and the pen stayed on the page a bit too long when the writer went to start the 'S' in the next word.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

In response to other points, I've now downloaded the image and agree that the first name is more probably Jno = John.

Hi pstainrod,

Welcome to the Rootchat website. :)

Best transcribe (type it) yourself (on this tread) full details of the marriage of the couple who married- the date, where marriage took place or in which parish in Yorks or register office , grooms occupation, ages of the couple and abodes of couple at time of marriage. From this info members of Rootschat may find the couple baptisms and maybe with occupations of fathers.
