    Help to read a Census name please

    Can anybody interpret the daughter's name on the below census:

    1891 census RG12; Piece: 3933; Folio 58; Page 31 Keyword Moxon. There is a daughter shown as Morrison and I can not make it out to be anything but that now! :( I've looked on the complete listings of births and the only ones that fit are Jane, Mariah, Robert or George!

    He/she are not with their parents in 1901 but they could've been away etc.

    Not desparately needed but just frustrating me!

    At present: Marshall, Smith, Harding, Whitford, Lane (in and around Winchcomb).

    Definitely Morrison on the image.

    Off to look at the BMDs now.

    How about Marian Moxon q2 1883 Sculcoates vol 9d page 218?
    I can't see any other likely candidates in the right time-frame.

    Ooh look Marian got married in 1905 to Harold Henry Empson or James Stuart Harford:

        I keep looking at it and I wonder if the enumerator wrote down Marianne and then could read his own scribble when he got back to the office to fill in the forms? That is all that I can think of, if it is not Morrison,

          Her birth shows up, too: in West Sculcoates.

            But no sign of her in 1901. Before I found the 1905 marriage I checked to see if she'd died.

              Thank - you Uncle John, Lyn and Christine for your extra eyes on this one. I knew she couldn't really be Morrison - although it wasn't totally out of the realms of possibility! I'll have to see if I track Marion/Mariah (as I found Mariah 2Q 1883 Sculcoates 9d p214) down anywhere in the 1901 census.

                If you feel like betting £7, the 1905 marriage could be revealing.
