  • Please can anyone read this name?

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone could read this name? It's a marriage record between Henry Chaplin & Sarah ???????

    I've tried various possibilities on ancestry & family search but with no luck.

    Really I haven't got a clue what it says!!!!

    Any help much appreciated

          It looks more like Lusshy the second time it's written. I wonder if we would write it as Lushy?

            Hi Julie,

            The marriage took place in Benhall, Suffolk. I think Sarah was from Suffolk, most likely in the Benhall area.

              I've just tried Lushy & Lusshy on ancestry as a surname only but there don't seem to be any families with that surname in Suffolk. The 1841 census says Sarah was born in Suffolk. Lusha actually seem to be a surname more common in East Anglia but I don't think the marriage cert says that.

                Hi Brenda,

                Yes, its a shame she couldn't write. Her writing might have been easier to understand!!

                Saying that though I do have one ancestor who signed her marriage certificate but left her mark on her daughter's birth certificate. Her writing was very neat but very child like. I suppose her name was all she could write & after years of rearing children she maybe forgot.

                  No, not necessarily!

                  Most people back then were very obedient to those in authority, and if the Registrar just said haughtily "Make your mark" then she wouldn't have said "But I can write my name".

                    Hi OC,

                    Thats nice to know but also quite sad if she could have signed her name but didn't because she was 'told to leave her mark'.

                      I think it happened quite a lot.

                      I also have one case in my family where the woman could read and write with ease, but signed with her mark.

                      The fact that she was falsely registering the birth of her illegitimate grandchild as her own child, may have had something to do with it!

                          There are several Lusbys on the IGI but not from Suffolk.

                                    On Ancestry there is a Henry Luffe aged 80, living in Benhall.
                                    Image looks like Lufse so if could be the use of "fs" for a double "s".
