Member Since: December 2011 Posts: 76 Send Message	I had so much help with my last problem I am hoping someone can help me again. Through looking for Elizabeth Silvester b.1846 Stafford I found her parents Samuel and Mary. My problem is with the census', I am not sure if I have the correct people through from 1841-81. 1841 gives Samuel's occupation as Agri. Lab., 1851/61 gives Shoemaker, 1871/81 Agri.Lab. The marriage cert. for Eliz.Silvester 1868 shows Samuel's occ. as Farmer. Do I have the correct ones for 1851/61? Is it likely he would have made such a change in occupation?

	perhaps there was no work on farm for him so he had to do another job or he hurt himself and had to rest from heavy work
