Not so much asking for help but showing how comparing signatures can help eliminate or help prove someone is the same person.
For instance Sarah Davey who wed George Coombs in 1810, and Sarah Bradford witnessing her eldest son Matthew G Coombs wedding in 1835, who could potentially have been the same person. The signatures of Sarah Davey and Bradford seem quite different. I know 25 years apart but Sarah Davey's seems to be a different style and also her lettering is joined whereas my ancestor Sarah Bradford, (prev Coombs, nee Unknown) did not join her lettering.
