This was the only William Clee born in the Halifax area between 1865 and 1880.

Looked like to me 30 was put down then 27 on top?

I think it's 27, because the number 7 has been written through the line

Are they rounding ages up, i.e. 27 would be 30?

Not normally on passenger lists.

It looks to me like a 30 overwritten with 27! (I think you have just about every formulation there Jimmy)

Cheers, Tony.

Thanks every one, this is now "COMPLETED".
