Some comments ---------- > 17) BELERNO, MIDLOTHIAN, [SCOTLAND]. I would think that's Balerno, which is basically a suburb of Edinburgh. > 22) PEMBURY HOSPITAL, near TUNBRIDGE, WELLS, [ENGLAND]. Its near Tunbridge Wells, not "Tunbridge, Wells". In fact Pembury is a placename in its own right. > 25) TONBRIDGE NURSING HOME Probably in Tonbridge, which is fairly near Tunbridge Wells, but a completely different place. > 26) LAGUNA MORTHLY, PERTHSHIRE, [SCOTLAND]. Could that be Murthly? > 29) ST. ANDREW'S HOSPITAL, BELLERSCAY, Possible mistranscription for Billericay? Which is in Essex. > 31) TESTERDEN, KENT, [ENGLAND]. Tenterden, almost certainly. > 33) BRINKURN, HASLEMORE ROAD, * Probably Haslemere Road, and therefore likely to be in the south east of England, and near Haslemere itself. You can tell because it is Road as opposed to Street. > 34) WEEDINGSHALL, POLMONI, STIRLINGSHIRE, [SCOTLAND]. I would have thought that would be Polmont > 35) GLENBURN HOTEL, ROTHESAY, [ISLE OF BUTE, SCOTLAND]. Still there, probably the biggest hotel on the island. > 40) RATHFARNHAM, CAMBERLEY, [IRELAND], Didnt know there was a Camberley in Ireland. There's one in Surrey, and Farnham is not far away in Hampshire. > 42) SAVERHAKE HOSPITAL, MARLBOROUGH, [WILTSHIRE, ENGLAND]. I don think the first word is correct. Looks familiar, but ...Savernake perhaps. > 49) NORTH OXFORD NURSING HOME, * Not trying to be silly, but hard to believe that would be anywhere but north Oxford!! Or possibly Oxfordshire, but the town is more likely. > 57) GREAT JAMES STREET, W.C., [LONDON, ENGLAND]. WC means West Central, I think there should be a numeral eg WC1. These are London districts, and predate postcodes by decades > 59) TOWNSHEND COURT, REGENT'S PARK, N.W., [LONDON, ENGLAND] NW - North West etc > 66) DOULTING, SHEPTON, MALLET, [SOMERSET, ENGLAND]. Shepton Mallet - two words, one place. > 67) WILLERSLEY NURSING HOME, CAMBERLEY, [SURREY, ENGLAND]. There's your Camberley again. Strong army connotations here. > 68) GREENACRE, ALBANY ROAD, FLEET,[ENGLAND]. and Fleet is pretty close. > 69) DUNELLA HOTEL, BROUGHTY FERRY, [ANGUS, SCOTLAND]. Specifically, near Dundee. > 71) ABBOTSFORD, SURREY, [ENGLAND] Something missing there. Sounds like a middle class house or villa named after Sir Walter Scotts home near Melrose. You need a village or town as well. > 72) MAYNE ELGIN, [MORAY, SCOTLAND]. two places I think. > 81) WALTON-le-DALE, near PRESTON, [ENGLAND} I think there are several Prestons. The best known one is Lancashire. > 82) ARDSLEY, WEYBRIDGE, [SURREY, ENGLAND] Again, sounds like a house name from some notepaper. You have quite a few of these. Again, it has been chosen to sound Scottish (Ard- ) > 90) LINFIELD, ST. GEORGE'S-hill, * I think that's Weybridge (Surrey). > 91) MYSKYN'S, TICEHURST, SUSSEX, [ENGLAND] Another house name. Not far from Tunbridge Wells. > 109) LUMEN, LOCH LOMOND, [SCOTLAND] Drymen? > 114) ST. MARY'S CHURCH, BELHAM, * Balham maybe? (London) > 116) MAXWELLTON, WILMALOW, CHESHIRE, [ENGLAND]. Wimslow. > 133) HOLY TRINITY, BROMPTON, * Are we talking Brompton as in Brompton Oratory think that's north London. 147) LUTHRIE, FIFE, [SCOTLAND] Luthrie? Could be a little village I've not heard of, wonder if that's a mistranscription tho. > 149) FELIXSTOWE ROAD, IPSWITCH, SUFFOLK, [ENGLAND]. IPSWICH, or you wont get many hits on google! > 154) CASTLETON ROAD, SALFORD,[ENGLAND]. Near Manchester. > 155) KNELLWOOD, FARNBOROUGH, AT BROMPTON PARISH CHURCH, * Maybe the same as 133. But Farnborough is in Hampshire, near Fleet, Camberley etc. Is this a marriage cert - they lived in Hants and got married in London? > 157) PETER'S VICARAGE, ELTHAM-ROAD, KENT, [ENGLAND]. I think this one may have got a bit garbled. St Peter's vicarage for sure. You should have a road and a town name???? > 168) EALLING, [LONDON, ENGLAND] Ealing > 169) HEADCORN, KENT, [ENGLAND]. Near Tonbridge. > 178) THORNTON LODGE, NORTHAUERTON, YORKSHIRE, [ENGLAND]. Northallerton perhaps. > 179) EAST MOLESEY, [SURREY, ENGLAND]. Not far from Weybridge etc. up market commuting area on the Thames. > 185) HERTFORD, (lately of HARROGATE), [HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND]. Harrogate is Yorkshire. So it seems they moved. Oddly enough, people usually go TO Harrogate to retire.
