Can anyone help me. I have a copy of an 1841 census with a boy of 12 years old and in the name column (just under his name) George Lomas there is a little curly arrow and the word 'Ton' HAS ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS- I'm more than willing to email a copy if it helps.

Here's hoping someone can help.
Jon.

Can you just give us his name and area and who is with him?

George Lomas, County of Derby, I THINK it says Hatherage Hamlet of Autreal?? He doesn't have any other family members living with him...living in Upper Hurst (house name?)

If anything, I'd say the notation referred to the boy below.....whatever it is!

Think it is part of the surname on that line

Possibly Hamm .... erton


There are several on the page done the same way

LOL, its just the end of the next persons name! Hammer -ton - they do it a few lines up too.
