    Looks like SYANCE but that is an odd name. I can't see anyone on ancestry with that first name. Does the first letter look like any other on the record?

    Margaret

      i would agree, 'syance'. could it be a mishearing of a name maybe? i note it's by 'her mark'.

        Morning Margaret,
        Looking at other entries on these two pages I'd say the first letter was an 'S' but it does make for an unusual name.

          Hi Kyle,
          I can only transcribe what I see............or think I see:(................which is why transcribers take some stick.

              hi alan, i wasn't suggesting writing anything else down, just i wonder if the priest wrote down a surname for a given name he was unfamiliar with.

                It might be worth seeing if you can find anything similar on the BMD index or census for the time and place you have the marriage.

                If you are transcribing then all you can do it put what is written.
