But why would it be just a surname? This is not normal on old bobbins -
christian or full names yes but not a surname alone.
Unless it is someone famous - I have one inscribed Gladston (sic) after the
19th century English Prime Minister. A quick search in one of my bobbin
databases (of 640 names only) I found the ones below - some from my own
collection, others found.
ALMA - The battle for the River Alma
ARCHER - ?
HIGGINS - ?
MASON - Trade bobbin.
PRINCE - Royal title or maybe a horse!!
RECKLES - Trade bobbin
WAINRIGHT - Henry Wainright who committed a rather gruesome murder in
the east end of London.
LESTER - Trade bobbin
Diana in Northamptonshire
