Marriage Allegation

I have found a married allegation for an ancestor. As it says at the beginning he appeared personally, so I presumed he has signed it at the bottom, but the first name is nothing like his actual first name. What do you think it says?

 

Wally? or is that me. ? May even be an 'N' of that time,

 

I don't know Wendy, thanks for trying. Have just found his actual marriage and he has signed it the same as above. Maybe he preferred to be called something else and that's the name he signs with????????

 

Could the last 3 letters be “auy”?

 

I’m having a stab at Harry

 

Well, the last letter is definately 'y' to me and when you compare the middle two letters to letters in his surname I also see auy. His actual name is Frank, but it could be anything. Hubbies Dad was known as Joe and his name was Albert!!

 

perhaps we are all 'wallys'

 

I would have said Wally also.

 

Thank you very much everyone. Whatever it says it's certainly not Frank!

 

Maug?

 

Well, as you say, it could be anything. But not Frank.

 

It looks like "Harry Jaques" but I'm probably wrong

 

Here's his signature 12 years later, though not a very good specimen. Looks like ?nng or ?ang to me, which is even more confusing.

 

Well, I think I can see Frank in that one.

 

Yes, I thought I could see Frank in the second one as Jellylegs says.
I think the first could be Frank as well! Terrible writing!

 

Could it be Frany a mis-spelling of Franny which is a nick name for Francis etc.?

 

Thank you good people.
