In the 1901 Census, what does it mean if someone is listed in the Civil Parish Occupation as a 'Muker'? Thanks Anne |

Are you sure it's in the occupation column? Muker is a place in Yorkshire. Kath. x |

Hi Kath, It definitely came under occupation, but I've never heard of a place named Muker either. Do you know where it is close to? Anne |

It's in Swaledale..........Have you heard of Richmond in Yorkshire? well it's near there. In Yorkshire the word 'Mucker' means a good friend. Re : Occupation, I wondered if it had something to do with farming ? Ann |

It's near Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Close to a place called Gunnerside. What is the name you are looking at and where abouts are they? Kath. x |

Hi Kath, Success with deleting, thank you. A friend asked if I could find any information regarding his father William Thomas Calvert, also his grandfather William Edward Calvert. Sketchy on dates and places, but I think William Thomas would have been born around earily 1900's. Possibly in the Hull/Yorkshire area. That's the only information which he has at the moment. Thanks Kath, Anne |

Was your friend's father definitely William Thomas, as there is this birth for a Thomas William Calvert in Hull:- Name: Thomas William Calvert Year of Registration: 1906 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Hull County: Yorkshire - East Riding, Humberside Volume: 9d Page: 305 Kath. x |

Sorry, I'm not making myself clear, lol. Which of the names were you looking up on the 1901 census. I can't find any reference to a Calvert on the 1901 census with 'muker' in it. Kath. x |

What I meant was what census image were you looking at when you saw 'muker' written in the occupation column. Kath. x |

I'm making this hard work aren't I ?! You are probably right in your assumptions. I got the information originally from the right hand-side of the page. 'New on Genes Reunited - Government Records' Anne |

Sorry for the confusion. It's just that I use Ancestry for my census look ups and not the 'Official PRO site' which Genes transfers you to. The mention of 'Muker' is actually in the civil parish column and not the occupation column, so it's where these particular Calverts are living. However I don't think this is the family you are looking for as the William on there in Muker is born 1899 and his father is called David. Kath. x |
