I think it is Langsdale.

In 1891 there is a 17 year old Agnes S Langsdale with parents Edward and Hester at 59 Dorothy Street.

I was going to say Langadale - but I think that Barbara is correct - Langsdale  :)
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Hi Alan

Ahh I see. Always difficult to decipher at least some names when transcribing!  Good luck with the rest.
