Flower, Plower or something else?
« on: Friday 01 August 14 19:19 BST (UK) »
Can anyone decipher this? It's from a parish register, Parish of St Stephen, Coleman Street, London.

What's the groom's surname - Plower, Flower or maybe something else?  It's transcribed as Plower on Anc.

Compare the F in the words "weddynge of" to the first letter of is surname, I think it is Flower.

I think it is Flower also, you can see the stroke through both 'f'
