Surname suggestions for William please?
« on: Thursday 05 May 11 14:28 BST (UK) »
Would love to hear suggestions for the surname, fourth one down, possibly beginning with K:

"William son of Jane ........."

Thank you!

Kitchen or Kitchener look possible but I'm leaning towards Hutchinson. No capital H to compare it with and the ink has faded or the pen's running out by the last letters.

To me, it looks like Starkie.

Thank you for the darkening Carole!

These are great suggestions; here is another cropping, with capital H (Hindley & Henry) to compare

The 'H's in Henry and Hindley look quite different from the possible 'K' in Kitchin/Kitchener.

I don't think it's an H either- it's too 'flowery'  :)
