Hello all,
I am researching a family from Aberdare and have the following name I cannot decipher.
I can read the John Llewellyn but it is the name above I am struggling with. The transcription has this down as Bunny Llewellyn, which it may be, but I can find nothng else anywhere for a Bunny so I am guessing it is wrong but I cannot work it out all.
Any suggestions on this one are most welcomed please.
Cheers,
Dan
We welcome any query on Who When Where. If you have previously posted it on another forum (including the old WDYTYA forum), please state this in your opening post - this will save people redoing the research which has been done before: they can look at it and possibly go further with it.

Deciphering handwriting

Re: Deciphering handwriting
Can you give us the census year and page? Might help if we look at the full page. Might be indexed differently on other sites.

Re: Deciphering handwriting
The Genealogist indexes them as Leversedge and her as Annie.
The first letter does look like the A in Aberdare. There's an Ann Hughes a couple of pages before and that looks like a similar A.

Re: Deciphering handwriting
Thanks for the Genealogist suggestion, now I look it does seem like an "A", pretty certain it ends in "y". Just the fact the 3 letters in the middle all now look identical to me!
I did wonder if it could be Ginny but could not find anything from that, now I will search for names beginning with "A" to see what comes back.
Cheers

Re: Deciphering handwriting
I would suggest
Ammy Lewelyn and John Lewelyn.
The two "m's" in Ammy match the "m" in Glamorgan
The surnames have single "L's"
Cheers

Re: Deciphering handwriting
Thanks for that Guy,
I'm starting to think Ammy as there is an Emmy at the top of the page which does look very similar. The single/double "L"bit seems fairly interchangeable on different records. Most of the ones I have found for this family,and the India Medal to John have the double "L" but I guess it cetainly would be worth me searching for the singular too.
