on 1861 cenus
RG9 2435 6 6
there is an Ellen Taylor age 54 widow b Ilkeston Derbys - living marlpool heanor Derbys with children martha, William, and Isaac
her occupation is given as Housekeeper -then there is "A" underneath it is no1, "R" underneath is no 3, "P" underneath is no 37- then follows "of land 1 low"
I am not certain the last word is "low"
My guess is that it means 1 acre 3 roods 37 poles of land - but don't know what "1 low" means
was Ellen a housekeeper of land?
she did live in what is now a country park -and then would have been part of the Miller Mundy estate.
Ellen (Helen in 1851) has no occupation given 1851/1871
has anyone any further ideas???

Hi Suz
She probably rented the land and used it as a small holding

Thankyou
I too think it is more likely to be "1 cow"
and she would have been looking after a piece of land -possibly renting it from the Mundy family
Well done Wendy
