What Name does this say?

Post by Colin W »

Please can anyone let me know what name this says, thank you.

Is it Catherine Wallace? The 'e' at both names looks weird.

I think so. The “e” in Domestic Servant is similar

It’s pretty obvious to me! I think you’re looking for problems. Remember, the enumerators were filling out lots of forms, so one can forgive the occasional poor handwriting, but in my opinion they made a good fist of thie one. :D

Edit: Obviously not a cesnsus, but even Vicars suffered from the same problem. :D

It is Catherine Wallace, domestic servant. Certainly better than some entries!.
