Hi Just got my great grandmothers birth cert and on the fathers occupation i cannot quite make out the job. I'm pretty sure the second work is labourer. What type of labourers were there. It could begin with an 'f' Why couldn't they write clearly on these things!!!!! Thank you Jess |

On the 1901 census James was an Ironstone labourer, so the word on the certificate could be foundry. Kath. x |
