Hi
When I first looked before I saw the Martha replies, I thought it said Heather.

I can see how Heather came to mind, I have seen H's that look that way and the tails after a can look like an r.  However when you look in column 4 Sex the M for male is the same as the first latter of mothers name, that suddenley clarifies the a's and so you have Martha.

Oh  and for a H look at the last word in column 8 Hospital.  So again that rules out Heather.
