Cant read the first name Help please

[joannecarter]

Hello,
Can anyone decipher what this first name is, the surname is smallpage but i just cant make out the first name.
I am looking at the first marriage on this cert.
Sofar I have a Frances Smallpage (could be a male or female)and a Samuel from the bonds and allegations but this is a different name, trying to go back further.


Kind Regards
Jo

I read it as Frances Smallpage

The bride is Ann Smallpage and one of the witnesses is Frances Smallpage. Is it the other Smallpage witness whose name you are trying to decipher?

[HeatherLynne]

Not sure which name you're having problems with but I can see Ann Smallpage as the bride and Frances Smallpage as a witness.

Normally (tho not always) Frances with an e is a female name.

Hope that helps

I think it says:

John Jackson of this parish Cloth Dresser and Ann Smallpage of this parish spinster
Married in this church by Licence Rev. J. Whiteley Surrogate
this eleventh day of October in the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Ten by me Barton Clerk
In the presence of us Eliz. Ann Glover, Frances Smallpage, Tom Smallpage

[Colin Cruddace]

The last one could be Jon(athan)

Thank you all for your replies it is the name next to Frances I cant make out, there are a few options ie Tom, Sam, Ian, but i would really like to be certain what it is.
As there is Samuel on the Allegations i wondered if he just signed it SAm Smallpage?
The Glovers were cousins of Small/Jacksons, so need to find where and how Eliza fits in ?

Regards
Joanne

I vote for Jon Smallpage as the curvy signature

Did they name any of their children Frances,or John/Tom?

You usually get names of siblings or parents re-occuring in families back then.
