I can't read it all

[flashieboy]

Can someone please see if they can read the section that says the names of her family......and who is the father of her child.

Does it say anywhere what the childs name or sex is?

Here is the link....pages 207-208.....Catherine Fleeher....real name Fletcher.

Thanks Ruth

Thanks you both for trying.

I thought the childs father read as John Dennis....but I just wanted another opinion...shame they never said the childs name.....that would have made it a little easier to trace.

I am presuming one of the sisters names is Julia as she went on the have a daughter with that name.
