Sorry pinefamily.

I've been trying to decipher your first witness name with my trusty magnifying glass. But I'm none the wiser.....I thought the name ended.....ward  but now I'm swaying towards mead  ::).
I think the name begins with H . You mention the letter i with dot above - I don't really see that :-\

Looby :)

You may be right, Looby. Does the name end with "ward", "ard", or "mead"? It's almost certainly H at the start, but what about the third letter with the swirl or loop? Is it a "d"?

As am I, Looby. The name could also end in "and" the more I look at it. And it wouldn't be the first unusual name in my family tree.  ::)

I have had another look today at the image. Is it possible the name is something like Anne H Daniel/Daniell?
