I believe so, the occupations column will give details. nell |

The seventh column is headed: "Rank, Profession or Occupation". I'm not sure if, like in later censuses, it'll say employer or worker. |

i was just wondering because if my ancestor was an employer - he would be found in the trade directories wouldn't he |

That probably depends on what trade he was in? |

Only in the 1891 census onwards does it specifically state on the census whether an individual is employer, employee or self employed. On earlier ones you often have to guess, unless it actually says employing x men and y boys. B |
