Hi all,

I am trying to work out the child's second name here:
http://www.lewishamchildren.org.uk/Scan10001.JPG

It looks like Conki? to me, but needless to say I can find no trace of any Phyllis Doreen or Elizabeth Catherine with that second name, so I fear it can't be.

If anyone better than be at working out old handwriting has any better ideas I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

Al

As you have not scanned the whole document, it is hard to work out the relevance.........

What is the heading of the column?

If, by 'second name', you actually mean 'surname', then I would suggest it is CARTER

Reg

i make it CONLIE

Thanks everyone... I'll look into Conlie now.

Whole document is here:
http://www.lewishamchildren.org.uk/Scan10002.jpg

my husband thinks conti

and thats the only one what has come up have you any dates???

Can't find anything for Conlie or similar like Conley or Connelly unfortunately. I suspected as much as I think I've been through most of the 'Co' second names for 1913.

I had a look and would go with what Reg said...'carter'

BTW...2nd link doesnt work.

Thanks, child's date of birth is Jan 17 1913

ps the second web site page not found

Sorry, fixed second link. Sorry again, I did mean surname. Checking other suggestions now. Thanks everyone. I've been stuck on this for weeks, it is great to get some new ideas.

CARTER Phyllis D Carter Hackney.1b 876 1 1913

cant match elizabeth were they twins???

child's date of birth is Jan 17 1913

Is that Elizabeth Catherines?

No Conti found in right year, but Carter is looking possible...

There is a Phyllis D Carter registered in the right quarter of 1913. Mother's maiden name is Carter too, which fits perfectly. Only thing is birth is in Hackney (wrong part of London) but I guess mother could have moved from Hackney to Lewisham after birth but before Baptism. Thanks everyone.

yeh found that but elizabeth don't match

Thanks everyone. Elizabeth Catherine is mother. I'm going to order cert "CARTER Phyllis D Carter Hackney.1b 876 1 1913" and hopefully that will be right one.

Sorry to clarify, no twins, Elizabeth Catherine is mother of Phyllis Doreen.

and heres the mother

CARTER Elizabeth Catherine Lewisham.1d 1174 4 1894

That would fit as Baptism of child is taking place in Lewisham. Thanks everyone, looks like this mystery is solved hopefully!
