Can anyone read this first name ?

Any clues as to this first name ?

Could it be Samuel? 
Prue

Could it be 'female' i.e. an unnamed female?

Some information about the source and a larger extract might help.

I too thought "female".  It often appears on these lists.

Hi
I also think it looks like Samuel,

Your Gloucestershire names, where abouts do they all come from. I will keep an lookout for dead ones for you
when I am stumbling about the graveyards

Alf - The Antills and Onslows were in Stroud/King Stanley area
  and the Jenkins and Crooks were from West Dean (Bream area)

Thanks

Looking at it again it could well be "female" - I thought there was something wrong with the last two letters when I wrote "Samuel" but I couldnt' think what else it could be.  Female makes more sense.

I think it says "female" too.

I think the lowest name on the sample is Elizabeth and the last letter of the middle name looks as though it could also be an "h", so could the name be some variant of Sarah? Two 'r's perhaps?
