MikeyH Posted 30 July , 2019 Author Share Posted 30 July , 2019 Dave, Tony and seaJane, Very many thanks for your replies and links. Was surprised to find that Isidore was a fairly common name in period. Thankfully the medal has survived in good condition, so many were weighed in and scrapped. Mike.

It seems that Isadore may have been used as an Angicisation of Hebrew names such as Isaac and Israel at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
