I'm thinking along the lines of it being an 'F'.

Have you tried to locate Mary and family in the 1911 census?

[escollay]

She had four sons, Louis, John, James & Gerard

Well it can't be John or James judging by the J in July, so you are left with Louis or Gerard.  I wouldn't have thought there was enough markings there for a G so that would leave Louis.

Is it important to know which son it was?

[escollay]

No, it was just out of interest

Just to point out that the signature is by the person giving the information - the son (a Scottish Certificate)*. The rest of the form is filled in by the registrar/clerk.

It could be J or F on first sight.

Does look quite like 'J' i.e. if John &/or James married you can possibly compare their signatures on their marriages?
