  • Help reading marriage index, please

    In the 3rd Quarter 1933 there are marriages for 2 Doris Dowsetts - the first is Doris E. I can't read the initial of the second - (married Styles in Bournemouth)

    Can anyone help please? I think it is either M or N.

    I think it is Doris H if you look at Herbert H further down you can see they look the same and if you look at Gladys M you can see it is not M.
    hope this helps.

      Thanks Gwen - looking again, I think you are right. That's saved me sending for yet another wrong certificate!


      Thank you

        I think its N. Compare with the H in Herbert - and compare H in Herbert with the "H" afterwards.

        In fact the Hs on the page all have quite clear cross lines, whereas the dubious initial for Ms Dowsett seems to be going downwards diagonally.

          I had been hoping for M - LOL :D

            of course the original index may have been typed up incorrectly. M is next to N on the keyboard. Or the indexer may have misread the initial to start with!
