Deciphering unusual variation of Elizabeth?

[Alfred Moynte]

When I saw the transcription "Elispil" I thought well that's a sloppy job, let's download the image and we'll have a look ourselves. But I can't imagine what else it could be.  To top that, a search of FreeBMD for likely suspects produces the equally unique "Elspact". 

I suppose it must be Elizabeth (no sisters so named) but I wonder was it so difficult to convey that name correctly twice?

No sign of her in 1891 unfortunately.

I'd be glad to hear your thoughts.

I think they are trying to convey "Elspeth" or maybe even "Elspeath" which is a variant of Elizabeth.

Yes I suppose that must be it. Elspeth. I will keep an eye out for the name elsewhere in the family.
Thank you Little Nell.

In Scottish records one often finds Elspet or Elspit interchangeable with Elizabeth.
