HENN ,....I would say. If you have the whole page, you will note someone further up the page with surname FROST. The ...F.... is not the same as for your family's name. Gwyn

I would agree it was Henn as the H is written the same as in the word Head. Eileen It`s definetly Henn, as there is a birth for Angelina Henn in the 1st qtr of 1870 and she is one on the 1871 census. Eileen
