Help deciphering maiden name of bride’s mother

Question

Can anyone read the maiden name of the bride’s mother in this marriage document from FamilySearch?

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2C1-55LZ

This is the only document that I have found that could help break through this brick wall.

I have add a family tree to her profile showing James Johnson as her father. Flora Krefels

Answer 1

Because the writer used a  loop  before other words, like Ayers, I see the maiden  name is Frefel.

No, you can find Flora several times. The F of Flora is different to the first letter of the maiden name.

Several letters are written differently. Look at date at bottom and tell me the A for April is the same as all the other A;s.

The writing of the marriage application is awful. And I know that the writing of letters change in the same document, even in my own writing … 

When there is a reasonable suspicion I accept to widen the interpretation of a letter or a word.

By the way: the A of April is equal to the A of Flora Ayres.

It's good to read other suggestions and not to fix oneself to "Krefels" until it's prooved by another documnet.

Where is the marriage record?

This is only the marriage application.

"By the way: the A of April is equal to the A of Flora Ayres."

You are correct. For some reason I was looking at the signature of the the bride, Jane Ayers.

I am starting to believe there are two Flora jane 's and John L Seiberts's. 

Answer 2

Flora Newfeld or Newfels

Answer 3

Judging the previous records I came across her writing of New Jersey and the N as a first letter was the same. With that I believe that the name was Flora Newfeld or Newfels. I hope this helps.

It's good to check other readings and compare ...

I already checked the possibility of N. But its different from Newyork. And if it would be an N, then it must be Nwe... which does not make sense.

For me:

1) Possibly K
2) Surely r
3) Surely e
4) Maybe b, f, k
5) Maybe e
6) Surely l
7) Surely s

Krebels, Krefels, Krekels, maybe something other.

The best way is confirmation from another side ...

image 359 is your record but if you look at image 355 at the mothers place of birth the New Jersey. Just my 2 cents worth.
