Fathers middle name on Birth Cert - help needed

[CarolA3]

To me, it looks like 'AGNESS' followed by a '9'.

A quick search on RC brings up a number of threads involving the surname AGNESS in Essex and Suffolk.  Does Edward have any links to that area?

The '9' would probably relate to the registrar's note in the right-hand margin, indicating an alteration or addition to the register entry (hence the underlining?).  Sadly I can't interpret that note.

To me it looks like Agness 9, maybe a miswritten address?

It can't be an address in that position.

There is another thread about this family (although slightly later members) - not sure if you have seen it, but it might help in some way.

I agree with Carol - it appears to be Agness, underlined because it is an amendment.

The amendment is numbered 9, which is cross referenced to the margin note “Nine OB” i.e. OB (denoting the registrar) has initialled amendment 9.

Glad you could read the note avm, it was too small and fuzzy for me
