Help reading item in 1901 Census, Sutton, Surrey
« on: Friday 14 March 14 16:50 GMT (UK) »
I have an Arthur Sharp, Coachman, aged 43 living at the Lodge (of Westhill House?), Sutton, Surrey.
His (and others) have something like 'Dornbolis' written at the side of their occupation.  Does anyone have any idea what this word is/what it means?
Thanks. :)

Domestic

I wonder though if it has been dittoed by mistake as all the others above him - cook, housemaid, laundrymaid and kitchenmaid all live in West Hall House, but he and his family live in The Lodge.

Ah yes - obviously 'domestic' - once pointed out!
