What is Mary's daughter's name?
« on: Tuesday 28 April 09 11:31 BST (UK) »
Hello again,

I always get the hard to read ones.  I have pasted a snippet of the 1871 Scotland census.  I can read John and Mary Greer and their children Alexander, Jane and Mary, but what is the youngest daughter's name?

I think it starts with an R and if she hadn't been a girl I would have taken a stab at Robert.

Can someone with sharper eyes than mine tell me otherwise?

Thanks
Tsu

Hi Tsu,
