Hi folks, On the 1841 census at Stepney (ref: HO107; Piece 712; Book: 15; Civil Parish: Stepney; County: Middlesex; Enumeration District: 31; Folio: 7; Page: 6; Line: 13; GSU roll: 438821) is Mary Burton with son George, also Mary Jeffrey (from her previous marriage), then there's an Ann aged 60. Ancestry have her surname indexed as LEGG, whilst FMP have her surname indexed as JEFF. Could SKS take a look and try and determine for me which (if either) of these surnames is correct please? Many thanks, Jon

Jon - I am confident it is not Legg, but the first letter looks like R to me - Regg doesn't seem to make sense as a surname, and I can't make out the 2nd letter as an i (for Rigg). What do you expect it to be (if anything)?

The 'ff' is unlike that in JEFFREY (the descenders turn the other way) and the 'f' in the two RUTHERFORDs, but like the 'g' in "George"s elsewhere. Regards John Henley
