Hi, i have a RCE for my grandads cousin Georgine but can't make out the address of the father. New fresh eyes are needed.

Catherine McDonald lived at 6 Commerce Street,Fraserburgh.
The father James Mackie lives at 54 ------ Road,Fraserburgh.
It looks like it starts with a F but i still can't read it.

Also, i can't read the address on Catherine's 1917 Fraserburgh death cert.

Hi Carole,

The first one I am unsure of - a possibility of 54 Hanover Street.

The second one I read as 9 Dalrymple Street.

All the best,

AndrewP

Hi Carole,

I think that AndrewP is right. A quick search of the Royal Mail site shows that both streets/addresses still exist.

Best wishes

Hi Carole:

I read them as 54 Hanover Street, Fraserburgh and 9 Dalrymple Street, Fraserburgh as well.

I'd have to check the numbers but number 6 may now be the Bank of Scotland. Will be there again on Thursday so I'll take note.
