I have very kindly been given this reference to a person I am looking for. The problem is the place of birth for Jane ... if it is my Jane she has stated elswhere her place of birth is Arkengarthdale ... could this place below be anywhere near this? Has anybody seen this place before?

Any help deciphering much appreciated  :)
