Thanks and Gràcies!! for the excellent help and suggestions provided by so many (and all the boosts to get it to the required eyes). I can confidently say I know the name written (see attached post) is D’a Elena Mocholi. Here's the explanation in full, letter by letter and it comes down to the comparison of the 'known word' Valencia in the second line and cultural context. 1st Letter: “D” with a super-script “a”. This is a common abbreviation on documents. “Don" and ”Dona” for Mr. and Mrs. 2nd: “E” everyone agreed on that. 3rd: “len”. These are the same strokes as the “len” in Valencia though the top line version is disconnected between the l and e. 4th: the “a" to complete “Elena”. This was where there was lots of suggestions. What sealed it for me is looking at the first “a" in Valencia. The two are identical with the stroke starting on the left, going down and making the bottom of the circle, then up and overtop and finishing to the right with a downstroke and a slight left tick (easier to see in the higher-resolution photo I updated this morning). 5th: the “o”s in Mocholi are built the same as the “a” but missing the final stroke to the left and down. Simple once you see it! 6th: another critical part and hard to see because of Valencia being written overtop the typed words: the “c” in Mocholi and Valencia are the same. Slightly curved and sitting diagonal. The initial stroke of the c in Valencia is actually overtop the top of the final stroke of the n. That means the next letter is clearly “h” and ends with “i” 7th: Finally, the “a" in Valencia is disjointed, displaced to the right, but the final stroke left and down gives it away. The dot above is for the i. And last: Un gran Gràcies to @[email protected] for confirming that "Mocholi" is a common name in València! Thank you everyone! Muchas Gracias!
