Need help with one letter in names
« on: Saturday 01 August 20 11:35 BST (UK) »
Hi there,

I need help with one letter that I can't seem to figure out, I believe in the first transcript the last name is either Safein? or Sapein? Please help :)

p.s. I have added other examples if you need more let me know..

I read it as Safein.  If you look - the tops of some of the letters are fainter than the rest of the letter

So on the other two the names would be John Safe and John Darford?

I don't know what the name is BUT I do not think that there is a letter "f" in it - look at "of" and "from"

The name in the second of your three clips is John Dac?ers  :-\

I think the name in the bottom clip is John Lake.
