Daughter's name ** Completed

[Alexander.]

In case you need additional confirmation - it definitely says "Rebeakh" = Rebecca.

Added: For those unfamiliar with the letterforms here is a great guide to secretary hand:

Thank you all for your help on this one.

The children's grandfather's Will refers to four children - Stephen, John, Mary & Elizabeth. I have found 5 children's births. Stephen, John, Mary, this one and another daughter (name blank on record).

It looks like the blank entry is Elizabeth's and this daughter, Rebeka, had died before the Will was written.

Thank you all again.

Have you found a death entry for a child of this family? Might confirm the name

Hi Marmalady,

Despite my best efforts I've found no burial except the mother Mary three weeks after this birth.

I feel from a handwriting point of view this link is completed, so will mark it as such. More work needed on my part though.

Again, thanks to everyone who has replied.
