The page before has Ann School Yard on,but I agree the page that Thomas is on is incredibly difficult to read......Staff Dr???

I did try clicking on the district 4 link at the top of the page to read the description of the enumerators district,but as I'm not too familiar with Hatfield it didn't help!

In defence of Ancestry image, provided you are familiar with a capital Q looking like a 2 - its pretty good.  ;)

It wasn't the transcription I thought was inferior on ancestry - it's just that in this case the actual image was clearer on another site.  Different scanning process I suppose  ::)


Added -

Sorry Mort29 - just reread your post and realised you WERE talking about the image  :-[  I shouldn't be so quick to type  ::)
