It's presumably the name of a 2nd witness.

It would be helpful to know the "what, where, and when" of the document.

Looks a bit like James Tayton.

Good morning and thanks to both of you. 
Of course it is.  Lol…, when screwing up the eyes, letters take on different shapes.

In fact, I’m building an Ancestry tree for a certain Sgt Ralph Fraser.  And while verifying some very interesting RootsChat info, I referred to a post I made back in 2018.  However, someone added a ‘belated’ remark that I must answer. (only just seen it)  I had email problems during his reply.

Anyway, this person has Ralph’s wife Ann Tayton with a father called Robert.  So I found it unusual to fine two other Taytons on their certificate as witnesses, and not mentioned in his tree.  Perhaps her father was dead.

James or Jane?

Could be the same person who witnessed George Tayton's marriage in 1819?

Thank you Shaun...  Yes, you may be right.

I found this and it certainly looks like Jane.  All very confusing.
