Travelling from Singapore to London.
Country of last permanent residence: Straits.
country of intended future permanent residence: England.

Against the "Country of futuure intended residence" there's also the note "0B" - or maybe it's "073"
All the Straits passengers have that notation, and all the passengers from Japan have "07" - so it's just a country thing, and not particularly relevant to Montague.

There are lots of records for this branch of the Sherwood family.

No sign of Montague's birth, which must have been abroad somewhere (ie, not in UK) - so don't know what relation he was to Oliver.
