COMPLETE Place name has me boggled
« on: Sunday 24 January 10 09:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi Guys,

The handwriting does appear clear enough, However, as I read it, this place, Surudoi, does not appear to exist in England. Am I maybe reading this wrong? The year is 1913.
 
Thanks in advance.

Hmm,

Two Swindons, now that throws a wrench in the works. I will have to see where the Manfield family is. Specifically a Joseph Manfield.

Thanks for the heads up

Regards
