Hi there,
I need help with one letter that I can't seem to figure out, I believe in the first transcript the last name is either Safein? or Sapein? Please help :)
p.s. I have added other examples if you need more let me know..

I read it as Safein. If you look - the tops of some of the letters are fainter than the rest of the letter

Yes, it’s an f, the same as those in the bottom line.

So on the other two the names would be John Safe and John Darford?

I don't know what the name is BUT I do not think that there is a letter "f" in it - look at "of" and "from"

Perfect, thank you for your help :D
-
The name in the second of your three clips is John Dac?ers :-\
I think the name in the bottom clip is John Lake.
