Handwriting Reading name of the witness for a marriage record
« on: Thursday 09 March 17 15:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

Here's a quick one for you. I'm trying to establish the name of the witness for a marriage record. Can anybody tell me what they think this says in the attachment...?

Regards,

Chris

There is a Clement Amos Bocking around the same age as the married couple, and also living in the same area. I'd say this is the most likely scenario at present. Good work!

Many thanks!

Yes, I went for Bocking before reading your other contributions.  Can't think of any likely alternative.  The B and k are a bit too florid for my taste, but ....
