Description as to condition of family immigrating..

All of the family.....Delicate...

That's all I can work out

[christanel]

What awful writing.!

Is the last word 'people'?

Can you tell us a little about the document and what it relates to which may help.

It's an Immigration Board inspection report document for passengers arriving in Australia ..

It is written in the column.. State of bodily health,strength and possible usefulness.

Suggestions to what it reads was..
All the family delicate, this must bother people....

[valg]

Also this one on previous page for other members of same family..
Closest I have is
All of the family standard working/talking/looking people

My two-pennuth:

"All the family delicate skinned White people"

"All the family delicate skinned /other people"

To me, only the first makes sense! What does the bracket attach to? Is it their names?

For the first one, I suggest "All the family, delicate thinnish little people"

My two-pennuth:

"All the family delicate skinned White people"

"All the family delicate skinned /other people"

To me, only the first makes sense! What does the bracket attach to? Is it their names?

Jane

Yes it is attached to the family names

[Allan F Sparrow]

Just a stab at the second one: all the family stunted looking people.
Perhaps the only merit of this suggestion is that it would be completely compatible with my earlier suggestion!

[Flossy]

How about: all of the family itinerant looking people

i.e. casual workers, not artisans - ref potential usefulness ?
