The two stampmarks at the top are of hotels (presumably those where Dr Loney stayed): "Hôtel de l'Europe à Bruxelles" and "Lawsons Hotel Bedford, Rue St Honore No 384[?], Paris 1"
The back of the passport contains a number of visas:
10 August 1846 I cannot interpret this |
21 August 1846 From the British Embassy in Paris, for passage to Brussels |
13 August 1846 From the Ministry of the Interior in Paris (I assume this is for arrival in Paris) |
22 August 1846 From the Belgian Embassy in Paris, for passage to Brussels |
22 August 1846 From the Prefecture of Police in Paris, for passage to Brussels (via Valenciennes) |
I presume that this means that William Loney arrived in France on 10 August, and in Paris on 13 August. He then left for Brussels on or after 23 August.
