Hello to all researchers,

Could you have a crack at deciphering these please.  One is an address in Edinburgh, the other an
occupation.

Thank you in advance.

Garden? (er?)
2 St xx Place?

I saw Groom at first but it could be a shortened version of Gardener.

Might the place be an abbreviation of St Bernard Place?

[Rosinish]

Can we have an expansion please for comparison?

4H,

Are both attachments from the same doc?
What is the doc?
What yr?
Is the occ. for Male/Female?
Have you looked at nearest census' either side of date of doc. for occ?
Have you checked any documents for BMD's of children for occupation (&/or) address?
Have you checked occ. on any other docs which may give a clue?

Sometimes a little more info. goes a long way 

My initial thought on occupation was Snr (something) but highly unlikely hence my reason for all the questions

Hi all,
Thanks to all for taking the time to have a shot at it.
To Rosinish
Answers to your questions in order
Yes
Death cert
1841
Male
Can not find him in census
Yes
Yes
I think it is Ga..... some thing or other
And the address to me looks like 28 Bs'n Place.
I have looked at directories but nothing comes close, it is abbreviated for some thing, but what.

G’day, 4H,
Could you possibly post an image of the whole certificate? It might help with getting a better handle on the style/idiosyncrasies of the writing.
Cheers, Peter

I think it is Gardener -  the '..ner' is just a squiggle as the writer seems to like to abbreviate. People who have to do a lot of mundane writing often tend to do this.
