Aaagh! I've just received a birth certificate that I ordered mainly to get the maiden name of the mother. It was not for my direct descendent because she was born before 1837 so I ordered her younger brother Matthew's who was born in 1841.

Unfortunately it is really difficult to read. It states that the mother is Mary Norman formerly........... I just can't read the maiden name!

I've looked at all the other writing on the certifiacte to try and find similar letters but no joy!

Any ideas what else I can do to try and get the maiden name?

Thanks

Andrea
