Give us more of the page, or a link to the online record.

We need to see more for comparison purposes

The father's name look like possibly g i l v e ....

Is it possible to take a larger screenshot around it - some of the part of the letters of the words above it make it difficult to see exactly what's going on with the letters at the end of his name.
I think it's possibly a 'G' at the beginning. Possibly an 'S'.
Can you see another name on the page that starts with the same letter, or definitely an 'S' or 'G', so we can compare it?

If it was "S' it could be Silve....

A darker version - not sure it helps much!

Could be Gilberti EDIT Whitwell?

Is the father's name Silvester?

Is the father's name Silvester?

Definitely.

Is the father's name Silvester?

That was my first thought, but then I thought it was a funny little 's' in the middle; the 't' was unclear because of the loop from the letter above; and then possibly an 'e' with a little 'r' superscript at the end? All quite a lot of uncertainties.
Happy others decided it was the same.
