Could some kind person, with better eyes, take a quick look at the 1871 census for John Middleton
b 1811 in hodnet Shropshire please i can't make
out his occupation?? On 1861 Census it looks like "Pauper"

Head John Middleton b 1811 Hodnet Shropshire
Wife Sarah Middleton b 1811 Hodnet Shropshire
Son Edward Middleton b 1843 Hodnet Shropshire

Thanks Pamx

In 1871 his occupation looks like Sawyer and I think its the same in 1861

Could it be 'Sawyer', someone who saws timber to boards?

It seems like that could be it Lindy Lou. Thanks so much, was thinking he done great with his time from being a pauper to a Lawyer... never mind A Sawyer he was! Thanks again Pamx
