If he is a Smith he would have had an apprenticeship so would have remained one all his life. I would think then that the S would stand for Smith - now we need to work on the 'N'. Are you sure its not a 'W' as that would be white smith. |

N S could mean Not Stated, meaning he never filled in that part of the census schedule. Crista |

I've also always assumed that NS stood for Not Stated on any of my family records. It certainly stands for that nowasays. Sue G |
