Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Robert WHO ? King St, Auldfield, Pollok, visitor 31/3/1851.

The reply from the GROS, the scan is slightly better, but still inconclusive.
William,
Thank you for your e-mail. As the difficulty in this instance appears to stem mostly from the size and style of the enumerator's writing rather than the quality of the scan I'm afraid there isn't very much the reprographics department would be able to do to make the image any clearer. However, I have attached an enlargeable copy of the image to this reply which, if you magnify further, should allow you to make out the details: I hope this helps.

Just a thought........
If Andrea (post #6) is correct then the next page should have another written example of the surname.

If you look at the h in Thos the top of the letter is looped. Same applies to the 2nd letter of the surname which looks like an l. The 3rd and the last letter are not looped at the top, which to me would rule out f, h, k and l. Having said that Im still as confused as when I started.
