It says The x Mark of Margaret Thomas In attendance

I can't make out the last word – Iluast? Tluast? Ilu as t? Sometimes the last word(s) in this category is an address.

'In attendance' means someone who was tending to the deceased during their final illness, but was not present when they died.

Often the address is stated at the very beginning of the death certificate. Could you please put up the columns before.  As it is we don't know where this took palce or who died. 

So far it looks like 'xxxxxx st'

After In attendance would Lluast make sense? It's in Powys in Wales.

Looks like Lluast, but whatever it is, it is the address/abode of the informant on the date of registration.
