Place name in India
« on: Friday 10 March 23 21:18 GMT (UK) »
I can't decipher the place at the top right of this image. Something like - Ta... Also the occupation looks like "coy's service", but I can't find any reference to this. Another person on the same page with the same occupation.



Thank you in advance for your time.

I don't know about the place name but his employer was the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company ( GIP Ry Coy).

Looking at that GIPR article, the place name is probably Tanna (Thane)

Thanks for your help, again. I guess the Coy = Company.
