	written on the census. I am assuming it means they are not from this country but does anyone know exactly what it means and who these people are and where they come from? Jean

	It doesn't really matter Nell, I was just wondering what it meant as they appear to be lodgers. (two of them) But thanks both anyway. Jean

I've got a boarder with my gt grandparents in 1901 from France. It does give her place of birth, but its indecipherable and doesn't look like anywhere I've heard of! nell
