Birdalane De Broite - b1873 in Surrey d1945 Queensland

[ManU]

Hi all
The info received has been good and answered nearly all of my queries
Just a couple of points to "Neale1961" can you clarify your info on the passenger to Mackay  what is

occupation DS
English Hidd?

To "Trish 1120" where did you arrive at Birdalane being a Circus Rider (her mother and daughter also had the name Birdalane

Thank Manu

I'm sure Neale1961 will address your query soon, but in the meantime I will guess that DS is Domestic Servant and as for the word Hidd, I think it might be Midd as an abbreviation for Middlesex.
The column heading is County or Country.

The workhouse entries (on Ancestry) for Birdalane DEBROIT in 1884 give her occupation as "Circus Rider".
