Hi i am trying to read my x great grandmothers maiden name from her sons birth certificate, i know she is from Ireland as its picked up in the 1891 census with her husband Edward, unfortunely there is no record of her husband going back 20 years, so i presume he went to Ireland from Newcastle,

anyway

i have managed to work out so far

Bridget Jane Holmes formorly K.......???? of Belford Previously Alnwick

i know it begins with a K as the fathers Occupation is a Hawker and the K is written the same

Hope someone can help

I agree with you the the first letter does look like the "K" in Hawker but all the same I wonder if the name is not Ritchie - whoever wrote the certificate made the "K" and "R" look very similar?
