Help with occupation please COMPLETED THANKS
« on: Wednesday 21 October 09 14:21 UTC (UK) »
Hello all

This man only appears in the 1841 census and I want to find out what the trade of the family is, but I can't fathom this occupation. 

At first I thought Joiner's Junior, but he was 25, so have discounted that.

Thanks

Steven

Hi Stephen,

Joiner's journeyman?

Yes, I agree with Tati "J" would usually signify journeyman in the 1841 census http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/i-k.html
