I have found a Mary Boyd aged 27 born in cumberland, cockermouth.
She is living with her 2 sons and the Irving family.
I am having a problem reading what her job was. If anyone has access to the 1851 census please could you take a look for me?
Thankyou Jayne

Thankyou K and Fiona
Please could I trouble you to read more.
It is on the 1861 census. Joseph Harrison aged 39 born Cumberland Alston, his wife is Margaret. I can see that part of his job is clogger but what does the rest of it say?
If you can read it I would be grateful
Thankyou Jayne
