Signature Silhouette #4 ~ Maurice Carroll

For many of my ancestors, we have no photographs, no treasured heirlooms, not even a funeral card to remember them by. But of those who could read and write, a few left their signatures behind. They often signed historical census returns etc., copies of which still survive. This signature may be all that remains of them today. So, this year, it's my intention to feature a Signature Silhouette for at least one ancestor a month, until they are all are preserved.

Here's one for my maternal great-great-grandfather, Maurice Carroll:-
