Hi
Trying (without success) to read my gx2 grandfathers - Charles Thomas' occupation on the 1891 Census
Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 308; Folio 84; Page 45; GSU roll: 6095418
Looks like Barge something ???
Also same person's occupation on the 1901
Class: RG13; Piece: 342; Folio: 110; Page: 36.
Ironmongers Porter Perhaps ???
