Decipher Surname
« on: Wednesday 19 June 13 14:18 BST (UK) »
Hello all, I am currently and very slowly trying to work through my family tree where I am having problems with my Great Great Grandmother's maiden name from her daughter's birth certificate.  Would anyone out there be able to help?  Thank you in advance

that's the family on Battlestead Lane.  I was trying to locate Harriet's family as that is my next leg of the journey.  It looks like I can find Simnet but will research further to ensure I have the right marriage

Just to add I found this slightly puzzling baptism - may be a red herring:
