LAndSWRY Laborer occupation
« on: Thursday 24 May 18 21:38 BST (UK) »
In the 1891 England census my ancestors occupation is LAndSWRY Laborer.  Can anyone tell me what that stands for?
1901 his occupation is Credit Draper and in 1911 is Furniture Dealer.
Thank you for your help.

Hello there and welcome to Rootschat.

Can you tell us who you are talking about and where he was living and then we can take a look ourselves to make an informed decision.

Regards

Carol

If it is the Edward Robbins living in Wimbledon, then it is definitely the London & South Western Railway. Wikipedia has an entry about Wimbledon Station giving its history.

The census office has annotated the occupation with "Plate" - their abbreviation of Platelayer.
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.

How could you possibly guess who the OP was referring to,there was no mention of his name in her first posting?

But there was an occupation, and I just searched FindMyPast for "L & S*". There were only a handful of results, and only one mentioned labourer.

Wildcards are your friend!

I have another occupation question.  1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census  Henry Robins and family.  I think his occupation is Ballast paint Guard and then some initials beside it? 
I could only find ballast heaver and ballast man in the old english occupations that I googled. 
Thank you for helping me figure out how you knew who my ancestor was in my last inquiry.

Where does this Henry Robins live,how old is he and when you say family,who are they?

In 1891 there are 148 people called Henry Robins, I'm not going to look at them all for you  ;D
