Occupation on 1871 Scottish Census reads Hanrex?
« on: Friday 10 January 14 18:47 GMT (UK) »
Good Afternoon to all family tree researchers,

Does anyone know what the term HANREX would mean? It is showing on the 1871 Scottish Census as the Occupation of my Great-Grand Aunt Elizabeth Coyle living in Bathgate, W. Lothian.

Thanks Lorianne,
Canada

Are you sure it's not Hawker?

If you haven't seen the original, it might be worth checking.  Probably a mistranscription.

I will recheck to see if it should be hawker.  That was my first instinct when I saw hanrex.
Thanks for tip.

Don't see an Elizabeth in the Bathgate Mortality Records, the family appear to be all miners.

Skoosh.
