Ruskufkey/Ruskufka/Russcuffsca
« on: Friday 03 May 24 18:35 BST (UK) »
Looking for help with a Charles russcusskfa/Ruskufka/Ruskufka. I have looked him up on a few websites and found him in trees stating born in Slovakia 1780s. He is stated as a marriner at time of marriage in Middlesex to Eleanor Tabram.
Could someone please advise on the correct spelling?
Thank you

Spelling of names wasn't a strong point back in the day. ;)

Mostly phonetic; officials wrote what they thought they had heard.
