Help with ID of surname please!

Hi,

I would appreciate some other eyes on this and more ideas!

I can see it is Arthur.... but please confirm surname.

Many thanks,

Colgrave?  Being a signature he could sign his name with a distinctive R in the middle.

I see Colgrave, too. (Without seeing kinnigit's reply.  :) )

At first I thought that the "r" was waaay too extravagant, compared to the "r" at the end of "Arthur". Then it dawned on me - silly moo - that the FIRST "r" in Arthur is almost as extravagant as the one in the surname! (I need a bit longer sometimes... ::))
