COMPLETED: Handwiting help
« on: Tuesday 09 June 09 20:06 BST (UK) »
hello

I am trying to decipher the occupation of William Allison.

Also I am trying to work out the Brides Fathers name ?????? Peacock.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Emma

A good example of copperplate handwriting; the attention of the census transcribers should be drawn to such samples, and then we might get a better product in future!
