I cant make out the occupation of a relative on the scan of a census record. I was hoping one of you could give me a clue! 1851 England census-Daniel Greenfield 1817, Born Brockmoor,Staffordshire, Residing in Kingswinford,Brockmoor,Staffordshire. Spouse Sarah. Im sorry i dont know if there is an easier way to search- any reference numbers i should give you to search on. On other census's he is a shoe maker, but i cant make this one out. Thankyou, Nic x |

He's a cordwainer, a fancy term for shoemaker. |

Thankyou very much- i would never have fathomed it out! Are there any websites listing old proffessions? I suspect i may have a few more of these lurking around. Im now 'filling out' my family tree by adding addresses/professions etc. |

Got another strange one- Puddler and Under Puddler. Sounds amusing whatever it is!! |

Clare-thanks for those site links- saved to favourites-they will definately come in handy. Being a puddler sounds pretty darn rubbish!! |
