Hi George,

My guess is Ann  :)

That was my first thought, Tati but the first letter doesn't match with other examples of the capital A on the document.

Any chance it is Clem, as in Clement?

Hang on, this marriage has a different person in charge from the first two, so although it looks very similar, the handwriting is going to be a bit different.

I think I'll go back to Tati's suggestion of Ann.

Sorry Tati!

George,


I have located a lady in South Africa who I believe to be the daughter of Noel Pearce, and will come back to you if she answers my email.

Thanks for all your help. Apologise for not adhering to your rules by posting whole document,

I really don't know who it could be. I have looked at all my family names, but can't make heads or tails.

With respect to the lady in South Africa, Noels daughter, I am in contact with her, she is my cousin whom  I "lost" for 40 yrs.

Thanks again to you all.

Happy festive holidays to all.
