As someone who's been undertaken a One-Name Study into an unusual (English) surname, and also I live in Wales, UK, so am used to all sorts of names stemming from Patronymics, I'm interested in your GG grandfather's surname, as it looks as though it might have been a corruption of "Matthews"...

so can I suggest you do the same (take screenshot, edit image by cropping it to just the letter, use Google Lens)
Hopefully amongst the depositories mentioned, the original might be on one of them?!

Fascinating!
So in order to try & help, I took a screenshot of the image, then used "Google Lens" to try to find the original.
Unfortunately although it did identify many similar letters, it didn't find THE original!
On the other hand, at least the search highlighted several other depositories

Great to see you over here as well, Daniel.
I've decided that after 60yrs of research (One-Name Studies, Teaching H2TYFT, Writing, Transcribing and Researching for others) it's time to hang up all those hats, and just help wherever and however I can.
Thanks for all you do!

Hi Linda - have you been searching for your Fewtrill (& variants) ancestors for long?
I'd like to point you in the direction of sources other than the likes of Ancestry, FindMyPast, Family Search etc, but would be interested to find out first which sources you've already consulted. Any possibility?

The Photographer AND Genealogist in me is appalled by this!
"Usual" is to use tracing paper over the photograph, circle individual heads, & if space allows, write names under each circle, OR if a big group, to circle each head & put a number in each circle, that cross-refers to a list of names.
