1841 Census profession......??
« on: Thursday 17 September 09 11:58 BST (UK) »
One of my Ancestor's profession is listed simply as "M.S" - that's what it looks like anyway.  He was 21 at the time and not living with his family.

Does anyone have a clue what that means???

Many thanks

Kate

Hi Kate,

It means Male Servant  :)
