Note for Shirley:

For 1871 thru 1901, the year is determined by the RG# (and vice versa). The number runs from RG10 thru RG13. E.g., if you do a search in 1901 on Ancestry, you can't enter anything but RG13.

Hi,
I was wondering checking an ancestor on Ancestry and just wondered if anyone could actually read what his Occupation was:

Class: RG13; Piece: 342; Folio: 110; Page: 36

Charles Thomas - I thinkit says Ironmongers something-or-other??

Thanks
