Can't work out what this says
« on: Sunday 06 May 18 20:13 BST (UK) »
Hi. Can anyone work out what the bit reads between "Ring on" and "finger left hand? It's from an entry in a prison register. Many thanks.

You have to give it a unique name - I use my user name and add something like 1a. Clear it, rename the file and then load it again.

I renamed it several times so let's do it again. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Gadget. I first thought that but it does not seem right somehow unless he did wear it on his middle finger instead of the fourth finger.

I was wondering what was meant by middle finger, unless the thumb was included.

I can't think of any other word that might fit though.

I wonder if it was a tattoo rather than an actual ring.
