What is the time difference between the two signatures?

My initial thought is that they are not the same person - there are enough differences . . . . But, Could be the time difference.

I could be wrong - often am!   ;)

No, I don’t think eliza and Roberts signatures were written by the same hand,

Wiggy there are 25 years between the signatures.

I think there are quite a few common features. And as the baby baptised had parents Robert and Eliza it does fit.

Major points of difference are the Rs at the beginning and end of the signatures .... the middle bits look fairly similar.

25 years could explain the differences then, couldn't they.
