    Hi @Dunster, Samuel Evans, Two things you might find helpful in reading these old records: enlarge the print and use the brightness tools to clear away some of the dark background. In image 1, Name of Child is indexed Robert F Berg, Mothers Maiden is probably Bristow -- this should help you decipher the rest of this batch ---or there's no harm in returning the batch unfinished and trying another project 😎

    I agree the child's name is Robert F Berg. The mother's maiden name may be Bustow with 2dots over the u. You can find that letter in the last icon that is an n with a squiggle mark above it. I don't know the actual names of these letters.

    Just a thought.
