Help reading Bratton census image
« on: Thursday 14 June 07 14:04 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

Looking at the the families of Edward Smith and Lydia Smith in the 1901 census for Bratton Class: RG13; Piece: 1939; Folio: 57; Page: 4. Written over the top of the Profession or Occupation of both families is something that looks like - well, I'll let you make up your own mind  Smiley

Can anyone decipher this scrawl and tell me what it means?

Kind regards,

Adrian.

Think it says "Ag Horse" and "Ag Cattle", Ag being short for Agricultural.

I've come across similar overwriting but not sure what it's purpose is, presumably some sort of general classification for the summaries?

Mike,

I think you're right.  I flipped back a couple of pages and found a similar annotation in a neater hand.

Regards,

Adrian.
