Think you're right Jamjar & would match my foreign surname if it's correct?

I thought it might be Ivey, but I do see a z. When comparing letters on the death record I see the maiden name as Stahlil.

The closest relative wife at the bottom of the ww1 draft card

Thanks again . What sort of origin do you believe the names would suggest?
