I can see the word 'Collier' just before the phrase 'of Cole Houses'.

I cannot tell if the long word at the beginning that looks like Georgina or Catherine belongs to this sentence or not. 

I wonder if the magicians over at Dating and Photo restoration can carefully remove the black bits....My laptop doesn't have Photoshop on it otherwise i would give it a try.

Thank you, yes, this is the one I mentioned at reply #4.

shanreagh and Albufera32 also see Collier, which was the surname I also thought (hoped) it was, so based on that plus the FS transcript I'm feeling a lot more confident . 

Thanks everyone for the help :)
