Well looks like something North but you probably figured that bit out yourself. Any others clues for us - eg Scotland, England, a county or area to go by?

Hi there

i agree with the North and thought the first bit was Shore something or store?? not sure what the middle would be though. Maybe it is all crammed in to fit. Shoreditch North??

just a stab in the dark though sorry it is certainly a good one

It's an 1860 immigration record for Tasmania, Australia.

It's either a placename in England, Scotland or Ireland - the surname of the individual is Armstrong.

Armstrong often a Scottish name. Do you have any other details about the person eg were they married, full name, age,  parents names etc? Could all help for looking up in census.

There are also lots of Armstrongs in Northern Ireland, especially Fermanagh area.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

The date of the record is 5 December 1860.

There are three individuals:

Rachael Armstrong, single, 20, house maid
Jane Armstrong, single, 22, house maid
Maria Armstrong, single, 24, house maid

If the 3 Armstrong girls (sisters?) went to Australia there might be information in Australian records to help find that location. Do you have marriage or death certificates for any of them? and if they had children, do the children's birth certificates list a birthplace (even country would help at this stage).

The only address in the UK that I have come across so far with Shore North is :- Newbury Hotel: 37 Dickson Road, Shore North, Blackpool, FY1 2AT .

Found another :- Bransty Row, North Shore, Whitehaven , CA28 7XY which poses a question. Whitehaven and Cockermouth came under the same district in the mid 1850's. There is a birth for a Rachael and a Jane Armstrong from Cockermouth, but the Free BMD records do not go back past Sept 1837 for a Maria. Has anyone access to the records prior to Sept' 1837, so the birth of Maria can be checked against the other two?
