Thanks R

I had thought Moreton, but wasn't totally convinced.....


Thanks jinks
Yes I was fairly certain that it was Danial Dempster, it was the 2nd name I wasn't sure on..

The writer uses a Greek epsilon for an e:  ε
so, I'd go with Frances Moreton ... and Daniel with a funny e!

Hi Koromo

Long time no speak!!

The only thing that worries me is the first "o" is quite different to the 2nd "o' if it is Moreton.

Hiya Bren  :)

The first o looks like the o in Arrowsmith - the one at the end of Moreton is just the handwriting tailing off at the end of a word, don't you think?

ɛ  <---- still trying out epsilons!!!

Cheers

Hi Koromo

Yes it doesn't pay to scrutinse too closely at times as now I can only see an "n" instead of "rr" in Arrowsmith!!

How are you getting on with your BOWLES family?

Bren.

Like the Epsilon!
