Peter, you link did not show up - you need to put something between the dot and the C. e.g. Ancestry.*co.uk Ancestry.*com you don't need to do it with .net .org .gov or .nhs

I can't make out the name either. I've even tried enlarging the image but it's no clearer. the best I get is Duielnuw, Diuelnuw or iuew instead of nuw. The seller I see makes Duesnum. Hopefuly someone will make it out for you.

Hi, My immediate thoughts were Davidson. Last two letters could be doubtful. Sorry, now realise I was looking at the wrong photo!!! Davidson is of course the photographer. Will take another look. Jo.

Peter, I've taken another look and have failed - I do think there could be two separate words. The first looks to me like DMrs (daughter of Mrs...???). Sorry, I hope someone with more sense will take a look. Jo.
