Decipher Handwriting
« on: Wednesday 21 June 23 07:03 BST (UK) »
Greetings all. I am trying to decipher the handwriting on attached. The link is https://www.ancestry.com.au/imageviewer/collections/1204/images/IMAUS1787_081432-0411?pId=333588

I can make out Stephen Towler BUT I CAN'T work out Mary ?

I have been believing it is Mary Shinfield BUT there is NO way that writing is Shinfield....help???

Thank you in advance. Janice

Are you trying to link Mary Buckingham as the daughter of Stephen Towler & Mary Sinfield. The son Absolam appears with his grandparents in 1851 census also Mary Towler.

I agree, "Stephen & Mary Towler - Norfolk".

Just out of interest I am not a member of Ancestry so clicking on the link just takes me to a page where I can join. Not a lot of use.

It's always a better idea to post a clip here on Rootschat of whatever needs looking at, rather than provide a link to another site - especially to one that is a subscription site.
There may well be people who would be able to help with the query, but don't have a subscription, or are loath to click on links (there are some very dubious looking links given sometimes on posts here!).
Just an idea if you should need any further help Janice.
