Where this was, today

The 1893 record places this person at Fort Hill in Hingham. Today that is Fort Hill Street, Hingham. Fort Hill Street, in the older village toward Hingham Harbour, north of the cemetery.

The street still carries the name; the exact house is not pinned, so read this as the block, not a doorstep.
