Hi Jean,

Well said!  And isn't it funny how we adopt a style because we think it looks nice  ::)

Look at the 'a' at the end of Jemima (second time appearing on the later image).  One could easily make that into an epsilon  ;D

I don't think we can rely in any way on the consistency of this Registrar's writing!

Hello Jean & JAP

Thanks for your replies.
I guess the registrar is allowed to be human like the rest of us.

MORETON it is then!!
(The Epsilon definitely looks "classy")

Thanks all.

Bren

Hi rich


Thanks for your reply.
All the other "Capital Ts" look like "printing" and very distinct, but I agree it definitely looks like "?ORNTO(R)N"

Thanks for your input.

Bren.
