A Big Hello to all Regestered Honorable Members and Guests,

It has come to my attention that certain old Historical Hand Written text could be a matter of importance in helping any Volanteer Researchers pinpoint a Known Family Member.

The more i look at the "Physical Docuument" myself, the more, in doubt, i am, about the Family Name, that is also referenced else where in a Paid for Document Search Summary by BDM Staff of a range of my Known Blood Families and Known Interrelated Relatives.

THE DILEMMA.

The dilemma involves the well known Historical Family Names Fawks and Fawkes !

I interprit a Hand Written mark [or Hand Written Character] on the paid for, and supplied Queenasland Australia Marriage Certificate as having "A POSSIBLE MALFORMED" Hand Written "E" in Lower Case between the Hand Written Lower Case "k" in Fawks and the Hand Written Lower Case "s" in Fawks.

Naturally, there is a big difference in any research outcomes, when a "WRONG" Family Connection is Partly or Fully Researched !

Could someone who has struck a like problem before care to advise me of a possible Absolute Resolution to the Perceived Dilemma !

I was going to Crop, the Image, of the Original BDM Marriage Certificate, I have and attach it to a post as a Scanned Image File. It would show only the Relivant part of the Original Document and is quite small in File Size. The whole Document is only 72KB On Disk.

The Original Wedding Certificate states the Date of Marriage as the 25th of September 1865.

Fawkes or Fawks is "NOT" either of the marriages Parties involved but "ONE" of the true known Parents Christian Names and Maiden Name of the Bride's own Blood Mum. The Hand Written Text with a Thumbnail Dipped in Tar, states that the Beautiful Bride came at the time from Epsom England !

Constructive Suggestions are Most Welcome !

Thank you for your interest.
Cheers for now.
Kind Regards,
john
