unidentified postmark
I wonder if a member might put me out of my misery and identify this postmark (on an 1897 cover to England) for me.
I've exhausted what resources I have in a vain attempt to translate what should be a nice, clear postmark. Many thanks in advance of a solution!

This might help:

Just over half way down the page is a replica of what looks like your postmark.

Brilliant! Thanks so much. 
Perfect match. My original translation was indeed correct, but of course the city name in Russian is long defunct an I would probably have never
gotten the Latvian name without your
skilled assistance.
