In the 1860s a bride's father is clearly written as; Handable, surname Allen. Has anyone come across this name before?...it's so unusual that I wondered if it was meant to be Hannibal.

I'm sure you've asked this question before because I remember saying/thinking it must be Hannibal!

As you have it on two certificates, surely it must be correct, unless the same person wrote both certificates and made the same mistake twice!Co-ordinator for PoW project Southern Region 08

Yes, I am sure that "Handable" was his name but I am equally sure his parents really intended to call him Hannibal, just didn't know how to spell it, or more likely, couldn't say it properly!
