Don't know why but I think the second word says Shropshire?
Could this be right?
Can't read any of the first word except the "M".

Looks to me like it might be the same as the Seventh one Above it, the one for the wife.  And that, to my untrained eye, looks like Middle London.  But I live in U.S. so what do I know about U.K.?    Leagen

hi,
just adding my two pennyworth - seeing as the county is being put down first and it looks like an M I agree with the Middlesex or Monmouth theory.  Yes it does look like Midddle so I would go with Middlesex too.  So if you look on genuki at Middlesex parishes for words that start with an S possibly, how about Shepperton or Shoreditch?  Although there are plenty of possibles to go at.

Pretty sure it is Not known. The first letter doesn't look the same as he does his other M's. Wish I thought differently, very infuriating if that is what it says.  :( Jan

I thought the first letter was W, maybe Wilts? and Frome? Although Frome is Somerset, its on the borders of Wiltshire and I have seen it down as Wilts Frome on census.
