Need help deciphering, only full signature(?) I could find in this strange 19th century journal
All of the annotations and notes written in this journal are signed 'M', so I would assume this is the writer's full name..
This particular signature I think was from 1864, the book contains notes that span some 20 years or more.. VERY interesting book, I could post more pictures of it and explain some more if anyone was interested..
EDIT: Credits to u/ziccirricciz, this has been likely solved and says "W. Lownsborough, Birkenhead." with that information, this book is a journal by the aforementioned, a 19th-century surveyor from Tranmere, and contains writings, clippings, and a few original sketches of archaeological finds from Hilbre Island.
Some more in depth notes: the first written section contains a copy of a sermon from the Cathedral Church of Chester circa August of 1864 by Reverend Canon M'Heile, sheriffs chaplain, preached before Lord Chief Justice Erle on the influence of the Gospel in the prevention of crime. There is also contained often humorous anecdotes of law and clippings from court settings.
I'm considering finding a way to post these pictures I have of the book online somewhere, I'll edit this post more if I can do that.
