Address and "Occupation"
« on: Friday 02 February 18 13:16 GMT (UK) »
Any idea what these are for Alice Griffiths in the attached from 1861 census. In 1851 she was a "pauper Capenteer's widow" living at Felyn Cwmawr

Thank you

Hi Roy

Occupation looks like stockin <something>*

Stocking Knitter. Some enumerators were less literate than others!
Thomas, Davies, Jones, Walters, Daniel in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. That should narrow it down a bit!
Vincent: Fressingfield, Suffolk, Stockton & Sunderland.
Murtha/Murtaugh: Dundalk & Sunderland
Ingram: Cairnie by Huntly, Scotland then Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
Bardouleau: London - in memory of my stepmother Annie Rose née Bardouleau who put up with a lot from me.
