Not an easy one. The first witness looks like ?ru?y Car?Wilson or CarewWilson The last bit could be two names with the writing running into one another or could be a double barrel name.

Second witness could also be J Dauncey

Thanks Emeltee.

I think you are right with J Dauncey. It appears in NSW BDM but Damicey etc... do not.

If it is ... Car?Wilson then what is the letter before 'C' ? Or is it a huge 'H' in the middle?

If the surname is Wilson then there are way too many in NSW BDM index.

If it is Car??-Wilson then you can't insert a '-' in the search string.

Searching car?wilson and car??wilson get no hits.

Does not look like Stuart and does not look like Mark of Carol Wilson.

It looks to me as though the first name ends with y and the first stroke of the letter C in the next name runs through this y.

Could the first name possibly be Stuart and the second name begin Har? Still looks like Wilson at the end, definitley ends ..ilson.

Thanks Emeltee.

Looks a very large 'y' though.

I'll try Stuart Wilson. Nothing definite.
