Waltham Forest Wedding 1969 - Witnesses Signatures please
« on: Sunday 16 September 18 11:00 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have a wedding in 1969 in Waltham Forest where I am trying to decipher the witnesses signatures . . .

I think it is quite clear we have a Roberts but is that a W.G Roberts or just a plain W. Roberts here . . .

2d Signature - Surname Rummalls - first name any ideas as no indication if a male or female please . . .

Many thanks in advance  - Indiana . . .

Hi,

I'm tempted to say W.G. Roberts (or, at least, W. (x.) Roberts).
If you follow the lines of the signature, there does seem to be more there than just W. Roberts. It would be an extremely flowery "R", compared to the rest of the sig. (But it's not impossible...)

Second one: Looks line Ann to me. Are you certain it's Rummalls? I'm not sure there are enough wiggles in there. Not that that would be conclusive!  ::) Looks more like Runnalls or Rumnalls, methinks. Possibly.  :)

Best regards,
Karen

To one possibly Roberts, with initials W and perhaps G?
