What does certificate say???

[Toptotty]

Hi, can anyone tell me what this certificate says under Mary Monaghan?  It is for my grandfather Patrick Boyle, but under his mother (Mary Monaghan)  it has widow of Henry Connolly, labourer who died  at ?......... 16 year ago.  All help much appreciated (as usual!!!)

I know its not in Scotland and I am from the North East of England but my eyes saw Middlesboro ( Middlesborough). Is that a possibility??
Or what about Middlestone??

Hi,

I second Candleflames answer for Midlesboro'  If you look, the little mark is at the end of the word.

Hope that helps,

Slightly more than 16 years, but how about this :

Death, Sep qtr 1884 
Henry Connolly, aged 40   
Middlesbro', Vol 9d, page 389

Thanks guys, Pels he married Mary Monaghan in 1885 so that rules the 1884 death out, but thank you very much for looking anyway.  Keep the suggestions coming, does look like Middlesbro, now that you are all mentioning it!

Hello -

I would read the name of the deceased husband as Connelly.
