Hi Nolene

I tried going through the whole CAWOOD list of names searching for
something that could perhaps be a family name being passed on but came
up empty handed. Perhaps William or Marielle could be kind enough to
take a look at the original register and see if they can better
decipher the handwriting of the entry. This register is at Cory
because I went through it in 2001 in my before camera days! Is it
definitely an 'E' at the beginning...what about Peter but this is a
wild guess! What about Ernest or Herbert?

Take care
Tessa
