Are you able to post the link to the record, if not, an image of the full record.

Thank you! I was just about to post a second image with the name (equally illegible) within the actual record - 2 images b/c this comes from a microfilm scan of a 2-sided record... Thank you both for you help.

You are welcome jkingb.

Tessa: You are amazing! I got the "Poli" and the "po" but debated whether the "po" might be "so"?

Same here - I was reading Pelicasso or Policasso, neither of which is a given name.. Couldn't figure this one out. Thanks again, Tessa.

Initially I had also jotted down Policasso but couldn't see it anywhere as a name so discarded it especially as the ending looked closer to a po than an so. I did however find the name (spelt) Policaso but as a surname. We were sort of ....... close ....... weren't we 8)
