    william h brown sig.JPGwilliam brown.JPGwould you say these are the same ???

    Tricky.

    The top loop of the B of Brown is much more compressed in one than the other. And the starting flourish of the W of William/W H is a different shape. But the slope is certainly very similar and the general shape of "Brown" is very similar... though there are only so many ways you can write the name, of course.

    If there's a time-gap between the two, then the variations are easily explained away.

    My own thought is that they could be the same, but I'd be wary of relying on it.

        I'd say no Val, the 'w' is different as is the 'b' even after 30 odd years you'd get used to writing a name in a particular way, the beginning of your name I know for example that I have wrote my name in the same style for a very long time, my 'J' I automatically do with a loop on the top most part of the letter, I do this without thinking, I would imagine that anyone that had a particular style wouldn't change it that much.

            sorry Val :( wish that I could say for definite though, just in my opinion i'd say they are two different folk. *wonders if we have any folk that are into handwriting on site*?



            might help..

                      Thanks everyone I couldn't let this drop so went through it all again yesterday and glad I did ,as I noticed on one bap the mothers name was Ann Elizabeth Rosina ??? mine never had the Rosina bit so investigated further and her surname was Hughes so definitely not mine.
                      At least I wont be wondering now.
