Sorry Pam, I can't decipher it either.

Think the only way forward is to get the marriage certificate.

Hi Pam

I am seeing Paky as the father's name.

Irish form of Patrick.

I would say it's Noah too but can't be sure.

I read a tip on here one day and they said they took certificates to their local Dr's surgery and got the receptonist to look at them as they are used to having to desipher bad handwriting!

It's just a thought!

Hi Linda

Thanks. lt does seem like Noah l can't think of another name that would fit, but he was Irish and l'm not up on the more obscure Irish names ands their spellings

Thanks again for trying

Best wishes

I saw Noah too, but only because I think the length of the name and that fact it isn't one of the more obvious names

Hi Jan and Linda

Thank you so much for looking.

l had a feeling it may be Noah working on the H backwards but wasn't convinced.

Thanks for trying though.

Best wishes
