Please would someone check proffesions of Heritage Family 1901 census RG 13/217 page7 or 27 Pembury Grove. The markings on the sheet obscure them. Many thanks Marie Kent

Youve missed a bit out in the reference, can you give us one of the families full names and where they are.

Heather its this one Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 217; Folio: 27; Page: 7

I think William might be a Sh?? caster. Arthur is some sort of Assistant William is at School Roseann is Housekeeper to Head Frederick looks like a delivery cartman. Kath. x

if you click on records at top of page then click on 1901 you can find them it will list that bit free Jeanette

William, Shoe something? Maker? Arthur, something assistant William, School Rosina, Housekeeper to Head (William) Frederick, Delivery Cartman Very difficult to read.

My stab at it: William- Shirt Cutter? Arthur- ???Assistant William- School Rosina- Housekeeper to Head Fredrick- Delivery Carman?

I'm trying to find William in 1891 to check his occupation on that, but as yet cannot find him.

William's a shirt cutter - he was doing the same job in 1891. RG12; Piece: 1343; Folio 19; Page 32

Thank you guys and gals, its a bit tricky is'nt it, what are all those crosses about anyway !! Help appreciated Marie Kent

Rosina: Housekeeper to Head Fredrick: Delivery Carman

Thanks Keith, can never follow references! Marie, when the census had been copied out the guys back at the office would go through checking on different types of industry/employment - no doubt making lots of statistics about the workforce. Not very helpful was it. William - Possibly stud capper (not sure about stud though, the t isnt the same for stock broker) Arthur xxxxxxx assistant Rosina Housekeeper to the Head (Domestic) Fred - Delivery carman

What about Arthur - looked again, looks like a capital G - at a wild guess, Grocers Assistant.

Actually, Im going with Margaret now - having gone back and looked at it again : Shirt Cutter - if you look a bit further down another guy is making ties and it has Shirt written after it?

Isn't it easy to read, once someone else does the hard work, lol. Definitely looks like Shirt Cutter now. And Grocer's Assistant. Kath. x
