The vicar got it right though, for Florence at least, so I suspect it is transcription errors. Be interesting to find out!
I know all about that bit of paper, one of my ancestors carefully carried it round and used itfor every family registration event in Scotland for about 80 years. Pity the mother 's surname does not exist anywhere on earth. OC |

OC - perhaps it was the same person wth the flowery handwriting dashing around the country dishing out bits of paper to the unsuspecting?

I attended a talk once when it was said that there were "ghetto scribes" who charged coppers for writing down names, dates, addresses etc for the illiterate or for emigrant residents.

That's very interesting and quite plausible in this case. Thanks for that, Janet. |
