Occupation?
« on: Wednesday 23 January 08 23:46 GMT (UK) »
RG12/3922  Folio: 108  Page: 39  Walter Blackburn (mistranscribed as Blackham) age 14.  Does it really say 'Bra Finishers Apprentice'?  Would young men really work with ladies underwear in 1891?  Or does it say Brass but cannot see the rest of the word for the heavy pen mark?

Thanks g a r,

I'm going to go with Brass as it seems the more likely but I cannot see a double 's' - lazy writing I guess!
