What is this place name, 1959??
« on: Monday 28 December 09 16:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

Can anyone make out the second place name? It appears on a 1959 death certificate. The women in question was South African-born (with Scottish parents) and travelled between the two, so could be either or anywhere else. ;D


1959
January Seventeenth
9h. 0M. PM
Royal Infirmary
Greenock
Usual residence
5 Sandringham
? ?

Thanks,

hume :)

Hi Hume
I think the first word is Terrace, could the next word be Largs?

I also thought the word was Terrace, haven't made up my mind about the subsequent word.

I've just googled Largs. It's about 14 miles down the coast from Greenock.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for my late response.

Terrace looks very likely, and that address looks promising Nell. 8)

I'm still a tad confused over the last word of the column but I think Nell may have it with that address.

Thanks again everyone!
