Could be wrong but I saw Marston? Funny how ideas can vary...but Weston is a good call.

Having looked this a few times, I also think it could be Marston

I'm pretty sure the first letter is 'W', but it looks to me to have two letters between that and the 'st' - and the one just before the 's' doesn't look like an 'e'.

Given that some of the strokes are faint to the point of being invisible, how about Webster?
