Occupation
« on: Tuesday 20 September 16 22:46 BST (UK) »
I'm having difficulty reading the occupation next to William. The others all seem to relate to weaving and from http://www.scotsfamily.com/occupations.htm, all I can find that might be close to it is Heddler. Also, I believe the one above to be Framer, but can't see this on the list of occupations, so wondered if anyone agreed or thinks it might be something else.

Thanks.

Thank you both. I'll go with that. I never thought of it being a K. The H's and K's are very similar though.

It was the K in  Kilpatrick further up the page that convinced me  :)
