Hi Christine I suggest that it may be a mis-spelling of Phoebe. The diphthong has thrown the writer into the usual tizzy. It can be read as Phely or Pheb. finishing with a simple downward stroke. Unfortunately, on FMP, I can't find a birth or marriage for such a person in Gawsworth. You may have better luck on FS or Ancestry. I didn't attempt Philomena or Phyllis! Polly is the familial name for Mary Ann - as Josiah has a Mary I didn't attempt that either. Ruth
