Address Clarification If Possible
« on: Monday 06 February 23 22:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I'm having trouble deciphering this address from a birth certificate in 1872. Can anyone help with the address in particular?

Thanks
Mark

Maybe 81 West Fountainbridge, Edinburgh.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountainbridge

Quote from the History section of the Wikipedia:

“Fountainbridge was extended as West Fountainbridge in 1869, renamed Dundee Street in 1885.”
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton

I agree with Jool & Shaun but...

For future, it's always an idea to include important info. such as Parish/District/County/Country.

This one was easy, others not quite so easy i.e. knowing more about the area can be extremely helpful.

Thank you all so much. I would never have guessed that but I'll take on board everything you said about including more details next time if possible.

Thanks again
Mark
