Census Names Indecipherable?
« on: Tuesday 28 January 14 17:10 GMT (UK) »
All I can make out is Maggie, Mike and what might possibly be Frank. Any clues as to what the rest might say? Not sure what the last name is either. Also the country name I think says Austria? Any other guesses? Thanks!

It would help to post a large piece of the document, so the letters an be compared with those used when the other names were written. Was the one under Maggie a female? If so it could be Sarah.
AYRSHIRE - Strachan, McCrae, Haddow, Haggerty, Neilson, Alexander
ABERDEENSHIRE (Cruden and Longside) - Fraser, Hay, Logan, Hutcheon or Hutchison, Sangster
YORKSHIRE (Worsbrough) - Green, Oxley, Firth, Cox, Rock
YORKSHIRE (Royston and Carlton) - Senior, Simpson, Roydhouse, Hattersley

How about Jigskouski   Frank, Maggie, Harry Joseph. The other name could be Perosic Mike.

I think the name under Maggie(?) may be Mary.The capital "M" looks similar in both names.

Hi

My initial interpretation ~

Zizskowski, Jizskowski or Gizskowski
Frank
Maggie
 Mary
Joseph

Also agree with Austria

PS - if not a screen shot, is it possible to put up the census ref so that we can compare other handwriting on the page.
