Help Deciphering a name
« on: Thursday 03 February 11 23:12 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me decipher the corrected Surname in the 'Name and Address of Owner' column?

Thanks.

Hello, I think the name crossed out reads HUMPHREYVILLE and the corrected entry is UMFREVILLE.Seems like a spelling error.
The place name is Greenhithe.

Hi,
     Looks like 'UMFREVILLE' to me.

    You corrected it just as I posted!

Thanks. Following that suggestion I found this gentleman in the 1881 census
UMPEVILLE, Samuel C   Head   Married   M   60   1821    Justice Of Peace For Kent, living in Swanscombe (which is right next to Greenhithe) so I think we have our man. :)
