Help reading Fathers name pleas
« on: Thursday 02 October 14 08:46 BST (UK) »
Could someone please help me decipher the writing under Nora. The name has been crossed out. Mothers name is Lizzie LIGHTFOOT. Nora's birthdate is 25 April 1887. Her baptism was in Birminghman, St Paul, Warwickshire, England.


Thanks Kelly

Are you able to post a snip of the record please - not the whole page - I, for one, can't access Ancestry so can't help - though I do enjoy trying to decipher things.   ;)

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

This person can be found on Ancestry as Nora MOORE. The surname Lightfoot isn't given inthe register.

I think the word crossed out is Maud (i.e. a second Christian Name).

It looks like Maud when you zoom in.

Thank you.

Yes she appears in the baptism as Nora MOORE, and in the 1891 census  she is living with her grandmother. In the 1901 census she is still listed as Norah LIGHTFOOT. Her mother Lizzie MOORE married William Charles LIGHTFOOT in 1890.
