Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 243 Send Message	Can someone give me a second opinion please? On the 1891 census for Long Eaton I have a Samuel A Plackett, born abt 1876, whose occupation looks to me like 'Jacker off at Leah fly' Source RG12/2723. Also, if I'm right, can anyone tell me what it means? Thanks Barbara
