Handwriting Deciphering/restoration
« on: Wednesday 18 November 20 15:59 GMT (UK) »
Please could anyone make out the surname of "William son of Thomas and Ann" ? Tall order I know but thought it might be worth asking. Many thanks.

Thank you to you all for having a look and your responses. Rosinish, I have attached a photo of where I found it on Ancestry.

My best guess is Trottman - and the Oxfordshire FHS transcript agrees.

The transcript includes a note that this entry and the following 5 have faded badly - but it also includes other baptisms for children of a Thomas and Ann Trottman which don't have a note about fading. I haven't checked these against the images at Ancestry.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson
