I bought some tsuba from a NMB member and with help managed to get so far but a couple of kanji elude me

Initially are the kanji I've used correct and there are a couple are missing. Haynes has a few options for some kanji so it would be ideal to select the correct one

11th year of Bunsei (1828) Umetada Sanshoshi Narihide made this

[文政十一年梅忠三省子就栄作之] (三省子 can also be read as Sanseishi)

 

Okusenda Katsuyuki jū (奥仙田勝之住)
Unyū (雲遊)

I believe that the term 三省 comes form the Analects and it should read Sansei based on its meaning.

(三省 also read Sansho, but it means other thing - Three major ministries in Chine.)

 

As for the second one, the characters on the right are 奥仙田勝之. The last character is not 住.

I am not sure about their reading, but could be "Okusenda Katsu-no-sho".
