« on: Friday 07 January 11 00:10 GMT (UK) »
As we seem to be on a roll and people have been great at helping me decipher the last couple of problems, lets see how we can do with these 2?  Both records are from 1872.

My transcriptions:

(first one)
Joseph Gambrill
Thos Hutchinson-Crumpford
John Henry ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ?    Strood Agent

(Second one - I can't figure out Frederick's Surname for sure)
Staff of Life
Cooling Street Cliffe   

Frederick Scott [Jaott?]   

James Batchelor
Brompton, Kent, Levick, Sales, Lewis, Rudman, Saunders

Well the first letter of Fred's surname certainly looks like the S in staff and street but I have to agree that second letter looks like an a.But I think Scott, Leofwine.

Could it be Thomas Hutchinson - Crayford?

Hi

My suggestions for Alfred:

Alfd Hors??ll    Stroud Agent


(Stroud as in the place in Gloucestershire)

I also think Fredrick's surname looks like "Trott"

I think the place name after Thos Hutchinson is Crayford.

I can't decipher Alfred's surname either, but I tend towards the place as being Strood (Kent) rather than Stroud (Glos) -- geographically this would be more likely, as it's a lot closer to the other places mentioned.

I agree with Trott as Frederick's surname.

Hi,

I think the same as Fosseway, on the Crayford bit.

I think it is John Henry "Hilton" Canonsbury Park Islington

On the Scott front it looks to me like  Trott or Jaott

The other bit looks like, Hosmill/Hasmill or Hosvill/Hasvill.

Best wishes,
