What is this surname, opinions please.
« on: Thursday 13 October 16 07:25 BST (UK) »
Hi again researchers,

I thought I would ask what is the general consensus regarding this surname....... I'm hoping for a particular name and am interested in all your opinions.

Thank you all in advance.

Compared with the writing on the other snip that refers to this man, it looks as if it starts with a D - so Derry is my best guess. I see that Heather also thinks this.

The Ds in the other post seem to vary but it's the closest. Also rs vary in form.
