Hi.
Please is someone able to decipher Alexander Bruckshaw's (Head) occupation? I am unable to workout the 1st word. I think the remaining 2 words maybe 'floor polisher'? but not 100% sure
Also is someone able to decipher the street name for the family residence please. 1 ? Ardwick Manchester.
I hope that the doc. is attached correctly.
Thank you in anticipation

Hello cazat and welcome to RootsChat
I hope someone can assist you - but the mods may remove the census - we are not allowed to post 1911 census (copyright issues) but you can post the part you are interested in - e.g. the first 2 words and the street name
Just didn't want you to be offeneded if the doc is removed - we just try to save RootsChat from getting into trouble

Thank you :-) I was just reading up in FAQ and guessed after I posted it was wrong. I will remove and do as you suggest.

Thank you for your replies :) I can see it is possibly tiverton street. Thank you.
If it is 'Ronick' I wonder what is it in floor polishing terms ???

Any chance you could make the relevant occupation words any larger?

I would but not sure how I do this? I am not very technical minded with these things ::)

Oh My re: Ronuk - that is incredible. :) Thank you :)I guess you are talking of the 'boarder' within the household lizdb? I had thought the 2 were connected but then decided it wasn't ::)

Oh Ok. ? But I thought that Alexander is a Ronuk floor polisher? Sorry, can you tell I am pretty new to all this ::)Oh Just got it .. you are looking at 1901 census. I havn't got that far yet. ::) Well have looked on the 1901 census to find my G.ma who on this 1911 census record and is listed as 'adopted' I did manage to find her their but not looked up others on the 1901 census. Sorry, will stop waffling now :-[
