Help: What DFS Occupation is this?
« on: Tuesday 06 May 08 22:28 BST (UK) »

Hi All,

The picture below is an occupation for a 53 year old Alexander Tibbets in 1871. I can read bits of it...

Clerk Collector & Assessor
Parochial B? Water C?

Any help appreciated!

Pam

From 1861 and the index transcription rather than original image:

Clerk & Collectarto Water Commor

Maybe the original image for 1861 will be clearer.

Regards.

I agree with Nanny Jan.

Clerk, Collector & Assessor
Parochial Bod {i.e. Parochial Board} & Water Comm {i.e. Water Commission}.

A Google finds that Dumfries did indeed have a Parochial Board.  And also had a Water Commission.

Thank you all  Smiley

Definitely seems to be a chap who may have left some interesting alternative records.

Thanks,
