Title: Help reading this 1871 Census
Post by: MrSaunders on Monday 13 October 14 06:34 BST (UK)

Hi there,
I am trying to read the text pertaining to the LOVELL family on this census document from 1871 (household schedule 94). I would love to know the address in London and Henry's occupation!

Just had a closer look and agree with Packing Case Makers

(Ambly, I amended my previous post and reposted it before I noticed you had posted Henry's occupation - I did not receive a red warning that you had posted before me)
