The attached image is from a 1914 passenger ship manifest, showing that an ancestor of mine was returning to New York City from a visit to the UK. The extract is from a column in which the passenger was supposed to indicate the relationship, name, and address of the nearest relative in the UK. I am interested in the reading of lines 3 and 4, which appear in slightly darker ink and appear to be in a different hand from the other entries. I think the lines read:
mother, K. Barton, 161 ? ?
Westbromwich
The reading of West Bromwich is a bit uncertain, but my ancestor and her mother were in fact born there, so I would expect the street address to be in West Bromwich. But I cannot make out the street address, even after trying to match it to a list of (modern) street names in W. B. I have not been able to find my ancestor in the 1911 census, so no help from that source. Can anybody decipher the address?
cheers,
Dale
