Ancestry's transcribers can be a bit creative sometimes; I agree it looks
like "Fanny" - it's not even like the way that enumerator writes his Rs.

If the dob wasn't quite accurate then FreeBMD has a couple of possibilities
for Bernard's birth, given that the district of West Ham is probably within
earshot of the Bow bells!

Best wishes,
Sheena Ireland

Sorry, should have mentioned in case I'm wrong. Wife's name looks like Fanny

to me but has been transcribed on Ancestry as Tarry !
