Can anyone make out Elizabeth's surname on this marriage. I know what was transcribed and it seems to have been accepted by many but I have never been convinced.

Top right hand page James Sayer and Elizabeth ?

and some more paperwork, bottom right.

I think the first letter is an S.

My guess would be Jex, a not uncommon Norfolk name.

And if there is such a surname as Sex, I think that could be it. There is a John Sex buried in Norwich in 1748, according to FreeREG.

Thanks both I did think that was an x I could only come up with Fox. Never considered either of those names.
