Thank you Gwyn. The only death I can find for William is in 1854 and I’ve ordered the certificate to confirm if I have the right death.

The surname is sometimes mistranscribed as Greenlow

I agree with Rose.....Female Servant.

If you look further up the column in 1841 Margaret Brown is also listed as Female Servant.

Thank you Rambling for deciphering what Dorothy did. I haven’t looked into Janes death but Jane isn’t with the family in 1851 so I suspected she must have died. I’m descended from William and Agnes’s youngest daughter Ellanor/Eleanor Wasdale Greenlaw. Wasdale is Agnes’s maiden name. Thank you Malyon that is Agnes with son Alexander in 1871.

I think it's "Female servant".

Thank you for replying. The original gives William’s job as publican and it also appears to show that Dorothy works but I’m struggling to read the original image for her.

i cannot make out what it says on image and does not say on this one

I was wondering if anyone could read what Dorothy Harrison was doing for a living in 1841?

On the 1841 census Dorothy Harrison is living with my 4x great grandfather William Greenlaw (1815) and 25 years old, his wife Agnes who is also apparently 25 years old(I know different) and their children Alexander (1837) and Jane (1840) in Whitehaven, Cumberland/Cumbria.

Can anyone read the original record and tell me what Jane doing for a living?
