  • Another one I cannot read ...

    Please can anyone help me? It's the father's name of Daniel Johnson I am after please ..

    [[http://search.ancestry.co.uk/browse/...Johnson&st=g]]

    I thought it was David but it doesn't look like it to me ... (looks more like Daniel)

    Once again, thanks

      I have learned the hard way that the names Daniel/David are virtually indistinguishable in copperplate writing and I always now routinely check for both.

      Always remembering that DANIEL was a polpular name, DAVID was not quite so popular, because to many people it had Jewish connotations.

      (Another name ripe for confusion is Edward/Edmund - again virtually indistinguishable in copperplate)

        Thanks to you both for looking/replying!

        OC - I have found the same with Edward/Edwin!

        Daniel does make more sense (it makes him the son of the person I expected - I had no idea who David was!)

        Thanks again ... :-)
