1. This could be Preston
18. This does say Merchant
 25. This could be Gaming
29. This says something like--Eratus or Eralus or the "r" could be a "u"
31. This does say John Sidney but the John looks like it may have been added as an afterthought.
32. This is Lu something and then  d or t
34. This very clearly say Eggbuin
36. This probably says Margart, not positive though
54. This name looks like it starts with a B and definitely ends with "nette"
