  • Can anyone read these names, please?

    Hi,

    I have received a marriage certificate and I can't make out the names of the witnesses.


    Any help would be truly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Kelly.

    The middle name looks like Henson or Hendon and possibly Henman for the top one??

      Oh dear, they aren't easy, are they? My guess would be H J Kewman, C E Henson, and Mrs M Wheen, but they could be very different from that!

        Hi Treesa and Kiterunner,

        Thank you for your help, they are quite hard to read!!

        I thought that the middle one was C. T. Heuson and I thought the top and middle may have the same surname.

        Kind regards

        Kelly.

          I'd guess:
          M.J.Heiman
          C.T.Henson
          Mrs M William
          Tracy

            Hi Orangeblossom,

            Thank you for your help, it is truly appreciated.

            It is a shame that marriage witnesses couldn't print their names as well!!

            Kind regards

            Kelly.

              I was transcribing some marriages for FreeREG the other day, and some of the witnesses whose signatures were scrawled had their names rewritten underneath more neatly; I don't know whether the parish clerk or vicar rewrote them, or if they were told to rewrite them themselves, but it was very helpful!

                I suspect that you will have to contact the reg office, or place where your dad married and see if they can shed any light with the witness' names

                  Do any of the names mentioned mean anything to this family? lol

                  I think my descendants in years to come will have similar problems on my marriage cert. My signature is illegible and my mothers isn't much better lol

                      None of the names mentioned mean don't sound familiar. I haven't come across these names before!

                      I will contact the register office to see if they can help, but would they only have the signatures as well?

                      Kind regards

                        If it was a church wedding then their (the register office's) copy might have the names copied out rather than the signatures, but then you would only have the guess of the person who copied them out I suppose.

                          Hi Kiterunner,

                          The marriage took place in a registry office. So I suppose they would only have what is on the marriage certificate?

                          Kind regards

                          Kelly.

                                I'm feeling quite smug here. Usually I'm useless at this but having got to the end I find you have confirmed what I thought they were.:D

                                  Hi Vivienne,

                                  I thought the middle name and maybe the top was Heuson, but I couldn't tell what the last name was.

                                  At Least now I know!

                                        Unfortunately, No!!!!

                                        My dad use to live in Lincolnshire, so I'm assuming they are friends of his.
