Witness Name Please
« on: Monday 14 June 21 18:21 BST (UK) »
Could someone please take a look at this witness name on marriage certificate.  I think it's saying Eleanor Styan, but the ST could be letter H.

Many thanks
S

Sorry, as mentioned in the post, it’s Eleanor’s surname I’m interested in - the top name is Hilton, who is connected to the church.

I'm inclined to agree it's Styan.  That long crossbar seems very characteristic of t's I've seen from the period.
