Struggling to make out mothers name on death certificate
« on: Wednesday 20 March 24 06:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi there. I was wondering if anyone would be able to make out the mother’s forename on this attached death certificate. The person writing it has made a mistake then scored out the name and it’s become a bit illegible.

Thanks,

Alan

It looks a bit like Johnston.

I think mother's given name was recorded as Janet....then changed to be Catherine?
