Hi,
The only thing I can think of is Forkner? A misspelling of Faulkner perhaps?

Fortner perhaps? Though the "n" looks like it should be something else ...

when was the birth and what area?

maybe a search around the area may give some clues. I was just thinking on census returns there maybe family near?

Just an idea.....

I have no idea what name it is but they must have used the scratchiest pen they could find  ;D

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

Mary Ann ?? was born approx 1810 in Alverstoke, Hampshire. She married William Bevis in aprox. 1828/9 in the Alverstoke / Gosport area.

I had hoped this birth certificate (which is for the brother of my ancestor) would shed some light on her maiden name - but alas!
