Please can someone kindly tell me what 'Z' means when written in the space for occupation for the Head of the household on the 1901 census for my relative. He was 35 at this point. We have exhausted ourselves trying to work it out!! Any help greatly received.
THANK YOU
FIONA

Are you sure it is not a sort of ditto mark

Post the details so we can take a look

How do I do that!? Sorry to be thick - have just started out.
Fiona

Just give us the name, christian and surname, and age and place of birth and location that will be a start

sorry - I think you mean this -
Name - Henry Hendra (dob:c 1863)
Age - 35
head of household
1901 census
33 St Paul's Gardens
Hammersmith

Thanks

That will do nicely


Maureen

Well never seen that before. Also did not fill out place of births etc.

Wonder if Henry would not answer the questions.

Am I looking at the wrong one as the address is 31 St Peters Grove

You meant born c1866 didnt you.

I reckon whoever answered the enumerator didnt actually know what his occupation was or where he was born. Nor is there an entry for place of birth for any of the family. I get the feeling someone else gave (or in this case didnt give) the information. And the Z just means - no ********* idea

Well, this looks like him in 1891 shown as a mechanical engineer planer - as its southampton Id assume ships.
