Witness 1797 marriage

[Sis]

Any ideas on the surname of this William please. I see william w????m. The bride and groom's names are Rees and Owen, so not directly related at this point in time.

 

[Archie's Mum]

Looks like Worsame

 

[AnnB]

Could well be Worsam or a variant, I have Worsams in my mob. Do they come from Hampshire.....?

 

[Sis]

Thank you ladies. They were married in Westminster and so far no idea where they were born.

 

[Jellylegs]

There are two versions on FMP. The second one is clearer



Still not sure what the name is though

 

[Jellylegs]

Is it Wonsom?

 

[Archie's Mum]

Wonson? A William Wonson was baptised in Ickham Kent in 1757.......perhaps.
But then the last letter looks more like an m rather an n. Wonsom looks better.

 

[Jellylegs]

I can't find anything for a William Wonsom, but there are a few records for the name William Worsom, though not sure if they are in the correct area - but then people did move around.

 

[Sis]

Thank you everyone. Not a relative, don't have anyone with a name anywhere near that. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

Is it Wonsom?

Looking at the carefully written 'm' in William, perhaps the surname has an 'r' , making it Wonsorn ?
than again there is a dot above the letter before 's'. rather looks like 'worisom' which this is becoming

 

[Sis]

Thank you Wendy.

 

[ColinA]

Warisom?

 

[Sis]

Thank you Colin.
