Hanwriting experts challenge
« on: Sunday 03 June 07 13:55 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to decypher the name of a pub my ancestor ran.

There's a jpg image taken from the 1871 census 4k in size hopefully attached.

I've attached it and it says
You may need to reattach any files you attached, such as: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Genealogy\Goughs\LucyFollowsPub1871Cencus.jpg,

Dont know if this going to work.

I'll try to attach it  ;D

ADDED - That took ages to load.  The next address is Wilkin.  Could it be something like Old Wilk... Inn

Hi Hepburn

Wondered where you were.  You've changed your name, I've only just noticed.   ::)
