Was She Wrong?

[Abby Normal]

That, to me, has been a huge distraction.
When you take the single phrase (because it IS two words), you can see the name is not "Johnto".

When you read posts, or anything written by others, how many times do you see a person write "to" for "too", it's quite common.
One previous poster, Jeff L. would frequently do that, my wife does it too.

Here is the full sentence written by Abberline, notice how he joins words together.

". . deceased toldme on one

In my view Abberline wrote "John to" as an idiosyncrasy for "John too", meaning Henry liked to be called John like his father.

dont think so wick.even when hes connecting words theres still a long space between them and you also have to assume he mispelled tje word too.

Not impossible, but I am inclined to agree with Abby
