Catherin Wardrop 1841 Stewarton

[Margaret Wilson]

Can anyone decipher occupation of Catherin Wardrop? The attached extract is from an 1841 Census of Main Street, Stewarton, Ayrshire, Scotland.

CAn you post a bigger size file MArgaret?
This one is only 24 kbs, and impossible to zoom in to it to see the letters without it pixalating.
You are allowed up to 500 kbs for an image here.

I agree we need a better scan.

Is Allan's occupation Sawyer? If the first letters weren't so different I would guess that Catherine was a Servt something or other ...

First letter is likely to be an L.

Added: I see Ancestry have transcribed it as "Lins Spinner". I don't think that is quite right but second word could be Spinner. We need to see a clearer image and if possible can you include examples of capital Ls and Ss from the same page for comparison?

However, let me second your suggestion

Thanks all for your input.
I've attached the full page if that is any better. The page hasn't been scanned just downloaded. If this is still too small then I'll print it off and scan it.
Regards
Margaret

Yep that's better MArgaret. Looks like 'Lint Spinner' now.
