    Probably a bit late, but I am guessing that the problematic phrase translates to

    The address is in Cyndislist.

    According to information from Ancestry, William A. Dunnicliff, Company C 10th N.Y. infantry, recieved a pension for service in the Civil War. He appears to have been an invalid (injured and unable to serve?) at that time (30 Nov. 1886 - might be 1896). Ancestry has a copy you can save to your files.

    Edward A. Dunnicliff, Company C 11th and Company A 90th infantry, Illinois recieved a pension in July 1890 for the benefit of his widow Bridget (same source), which means he died before this date. The pension request was filed from Illinois, so the widow probably lived there.

    Dear Debbie Ann

    Many thanks for your information, it is most useful

    It has turned out that William Dunniccliff used a false middle name "Angus" when joining up. He did so without his parents approval

    Edward A Dunnicliff - i have less infomation on so i will keep digging

    I have found 2 others that were involved in the War

    George Dunnicliff
    James Dunnicliff

    Both enlisted in 1858 for 5 years - i believe one mustered out whilst the other i think deserted - Do you have any information on these 2 - i think they joined in Pennsylvannia - it must have been just prior to the War

    Many thanks

    The 1860 census lists only 1 Wiiliam Dunnicliff, 1 George Dunnicliff and 1 James Dunnicliff, and they are residing together in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:

    William Dunnicliff, 30, Brick Layer,Philadelphia
    Margaret Dunnicliff, 25, ,Philadelphia
    Margaret Dunnicliff, 6, ,Philadelphia
    John Dunnicliff, 3, ,Philadelphia
    Ellen Dunnicliff, 1, ,Philadelphia
    Thomas Dunnicliff, 21, Marine,Philadelphia
    George Dunnicliff, 19, (can't read - looks like Prentice Macked?), Philadelphia
    James Dunnicliff, 30, (ditto), Philadelphia

    In the 1870 census, Margaret (William's wife) was living with her daughters Margaret and Ellen in the home of James McConahey, age 66 (her father?) in Philadelphia.

    In 1880 Margaret is living alone with her daughters Margaret and Ella.

They had two daughters and a son. Their oldest daughter married a man named Trevino, and they have a daughter.
