June, It looks like Narman, but suspect it's supposed to be Norman. Does that sound right to you? Emma.

Thanks Emma and Max, i could make out what it was, but Norman could be right, thanks again june

It's NAHUM Welch on the 1881 & 1901... Richard

And Nathum on 1891...

Thanks richard, that solves another problem thanks again, june

hi Richard, may be it could be that its been tranccribed wrong and should be Nathan, is it possible? june

June. Definitely Nathum in 1891. Just checking the 1901... Email me & I'll send you the images. Richard

June... Definitely NAHUM in 1901! Can't check 1881 original of course. On FreeBMD: Marriages Dec 1881 COLLINS Eliza Wantage 2c 679 Dopson Mary Anne Wantage 2c 679 OWEN Thomas Wantage 2c 679 Welch Nahum Wantage 2c 679 So, it looks as though its NAHUM!

Thanks Richard, that would be just like my welch ancestor, throw in a name i've never heard of, thanks for all your help. your a Star, june :-)

No worries June. I didn't get an email - do you still want the images, or do you have Ancestry as well? Incidentally, in 1901 he has a son, called Albert Nahum. Must have been a family traditional name! Never heard of it before. Regards, Richard
