Title: Can't read the last box. anyone help?
Post by: B17_Fan on Monday 25 April 16 17:20 BST (UK)
I've found this hospital record for james seymour, but can't really see what the last box says. I don't know if it's the right james seymour, so wondered if it mentioned a parents name. not sure if it says william?

It is William but can't make out surname but not Seymour.  Second name looks like James Deacon  ?? maker Langbourne Berks

I think it might say William West (Farmer)

modified: No not (Farmer) but I can't quite make out the last part.

Could be ...
William West (Farmer)
James Seymour Deacon Harness Maker
Pangbourne Berks.

What is the heading for that column?

I'm still wondering about the word after William West.

I think there is a dotted i - but still can't make any sense of it.

Could it be    William West Farrier?

That's a good possibility - goes along with a Harness Maker  ;)

As Bookbox says, it would be nice to know the heading for that column.

I don't know which year this is, but the 1851 census has a James Deacon, harness maker, living in Pangbourne, together with three William Wests: a miller (b1777), a butler (b1817) and a schoolboy.
I'm not sure I can connect 'farrier' with any of those (too bad it wasn't in French, as 'fariner' means 'to flour'!).

You may be on the right track here, as there is a type of flour called "farina" which seems to be either a semolina-type flour from non-durum wheat, or a flour from damaged potatoes. Could the miller of these flours have been a fariner?
