Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to reply, I didn't expect any replies, let alone the information provided to contain so much detail! I guess I have a lot to learn yet. You've been a great help. |

No it doesn't look like Olive, there is a tail on the v. And I can't find her in 1871 to check. |

Well it certainly doesn't look like Olive to me. However 1871 says it is. |

Have you found the name on a census record? If so can yo tell us which year and the full name so we can have a look? |

Can anyone tell me what the female first name Ohep is abbreviated from in the old form. My best guess is Ophelia. |
