Assistance with deciphering a word on 1851 Cenus

[GMatthews]

Attached 1851 pdf census detail. Can anyone decipher the word written under John McManus Lodger aged 1 living with the Keir family at 93 High Street, please? I think his mother may have died.

Many thanks.

It looks as though it begins North....

Anything in that box ought to be a name, so it could be that one of McManus and North... is the surname and the other is a middle name. Or, since he was so young and possibly orphaned, maybe there was some doubt as to what his surname really was.

It might be worth investigating how he came to be living with the Keir family, and whether they were related.

Northhouse ?

My guess is that it says John Northhouse.

There's only 1 entry on SP for surname Northhouse which was 1824

GMathews,

Can I ask whether you came across John McManus on the census or was it him you were looking up on SP by surname McManus?

Can you tell us where this census was taken please as there's 100s of High Streets, at least 1 in every town & many towns in 1 County?

Can you also list the names of the Keir family please as it helps when searching?

Might it be 'Workhouse?

[Rosinish]

Might it be 'Workhouse?

That looks good & possible?

I don't see a John M(a)cManus born Lanark 1849 - 1851 i.e. probably not baptised?
