Well, it seems to be Cochan and I have spent hours just staring at it!
Could be Cohan but there does seem to be a second c in it. Think could be flogging a dead horse! The last n could be an r maybe. Argghh!

Hello Ken - how clear is the signature?

Is there any chance it could be something else, like Cohan?

Is there an address on the letter for Martha?

I am not really expecting much luck here as I have been trying for weeks if not months to find anyone by this name.
Unfortunately, I have very little information. I have in my possesion a letter signed Martha Cochan. She is the Aunt of an ancestor. The letter is dated 1942 and the letter was addressed to a Lily Richards. Lily was born in 1891 in Cardiff so I can only assume that Martha was probably older than her.
My problem is that I cannot find anyone anywhere by this name.
Lily was living in Pontypridd when she recieved the letter.(Glamorgan)
I know this is very little but who knows? I am completely stuck!
Thanks,
Ken
