  • Ideas on what this name is?

    If you have a FMP sub, search on Canton in Norfolk Bishop's Transcripts Baptisms 1685-1941. This brings up two results which are the last two entries on the image. Although transcribed as Canton they don't look like that to me. LDS have read it as Cawthorn, and they have a lot of family members spelled this way but no image available. What do you think?

    If Ancestry also have these records how have they transcribed them?

    It looks like Cawthorn to me too.

        Thanks both. I agree that Cawthorn is a better transcription and have logged the error with FMP.
