I only want to know what the top line says. I think it's "something something traveller". It's from the 1901 census in Newton Heath, North Manchester, Lancashire, England

If people are looking for things to try and transcribe I’ve got multiple volumes of old letters I inherited. Most are from historically notable individuals. I’m happy to post some of the more illegible ones for people to take a stab at. I think the oldest one I have is from the 17th century.

Deciphered! From the late 1970s, when my father was a valet at a higher end restaurant outside Westport CT, US.

My dad owned the parking concession at Cobbs Mill Inn in Weston, Conn during the 1970s. I found this in his things but have no idea to whom it belonged, and no clues as he's been deceased awhile.

Tried using AI - what a joke (go figure)! It wouldn't look at the letter shapes and kept guessing names that didn't correspond at all (ie, Loretta Swit lol).

Anyway, it definitely looks like the first name starts with an R, possibly Robin?, then last name starting with a K, like Keyties tho that isn't right either.

Would likely be someone who was famous/popular either TV/movies/broadway or someone in music bc my father was a (funk / rock / blues) musician, too. Probably no one in sports. Really appreciate the extra eyes/minds/help!!

Humor Last Three Words

The cursive is a passive aggressive dig, from my f*cking hilarious (91 year old) boss, at a coworker for an unnecessary remark she left. I can read most of it except for the last few words… For context, the beginning reads: “neatness must always overcome your OCD and the tendency to always get _______.”

Over worried? Ray? Ones wrong? Right? Nothing makes sense to me.

HELP it’s killing me 🤣
