1841 Census Occupation Query
« on: Tuesday 04 November 08 18:32 UTC (UK) »

Hi

I have a query re the occupation of one of my ancestors, Mary daughter of Thomas and Dinah Tyson, on the 1841 Census for Hensingham.

The reference is:

Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece 158; Book: 6; Civil Parish: St Bees; County: Cumberland; Enumeration District: 11; Folio: 4; Page: 2

I hope I have written this correctly and that sks can help me.

Thank you for your time.

Regards

Hi Tati

Many thanks for this.

I must admit that I thought that it might be, but then thought that I might just be wanting an immediate answer.  I must learn to trust my intuition [lol].

Again, many thanks
