Bearpark Bannister

[Jill on the A272]

She's in the Incoming Passengers on Ancestry, but I can't leave her languishing there under that mistranscription, we Bannisters have to look out for each other. Any ideas?

[Elaine ..Spain]

I think he is a she!

[Jill on the A272]

Lawks how did I miss that thanks Elaine, have edited above accordingly, even more reason to change that name. Think it might begin with J.

[samesizedfeet]

LOL!! So I went for a look and just searched for Bearpark thinking there can only be 1!!!

Well, there's actually 194 on there

[Elaine ..Spain]

I thought it might start with a C.
Can you make out the name beneath it - it might help to know if the loopy bits belong to Bearpark or not!

[samesizedfeet]

looked like Scarface to me at first glance

BUt I will try again with my sensible head on

[samesizedfeet]

name below it is James I think

[Georgette]

The name underneath looks like Jane going by the James further up, so the swirly bits belong to Bearpark. It looks like it finishes with ch but I can't think of any names that finish like that

[Elaine ..Spain]

The name beneath it has been transcribed as Jance Atkinson!

[samesizedfeet]

It could start with an 'I'

[Jill on the A272]

I'm going to have to leave Bearpark til another day as I've got a good lead on an actual ancestor

[samesizedfeet]

Quitter!

[Olde Crone Holden]

Now promise not to laugh?

I think it is a badly written Margaret.

[Georgette]

Ooooh! I think you might be right, OC

[samesizedfeet]

Ooooh - I think OC is right

[Georgette]

That's spooky! We even have the same amount of "o"s in our Ooooh :D

[samesizedfeet]

Yes, but yours is in French

[Jill on the A272]

I've left off my Steels and come back, OC I think you've cracked it. Cheers.

*sneaks back to the Steels*

[Uncle John]

I looked at it before seeing OC's post and saw Margaret. Who's going to post the correction?

[Olde Crone Holden]

Nah, leave it - let the lady keep her exotic name!
