Can anyone translate these occupations from the 1911 census.
John Henry Wilde born 1865 England. It`s doubtful Alice is his "wife" as his real wife is still in England in 1911 saying she is married. The children are definitely his and he was an accountant in England.
Intriguing !

Plumber
Messenger
..Sorry can’t get this one
This looks like Caviere,which might be something to do with wine.
I might be completely wrong of course,hope this is some help.

Just looked at cellarman in my French dictionary and it says caveist.
I think on the census you have it is Canadian French so it may be
Cellarman.There are differences in Belgian French and French as spoken in
France so possibly also with Canadian French.

Thank you

The occupation for John Henry Wilde is comptable which means accounting in English.
The entry for John is not shown on the part you posted. It is the line above.
Son Thomas (16) is a plumber and Son Frederick (15) is a messenger. I'm having difficulty making out the occupation of daughter Lillian (18).

I think the last one is Concierge.

I think you're right, carol8353.
On a passenger list, I found a Lilian Wilde, age 46, occupation Accountant sailing from Montreal to Liverpool aboard the Duchess of Bedford, arriving July 8, 1939. Destination address in the UK was 35 Owen Rd., Wolverhampton. Possibly the daughter?

On the free 1939 register there is a Lilian M Wilde b 1893 in Wolvehampton.
Looks like she later marries a Mr Simpson.
It says George H Wilde and 2 other people are at the same address.

many thanks.

How are you getting those occupations ?on what I can bring up I can not see their names so am working in the dark somewhat.
I can’t see a g as in concierge nor a p as in comptiere,am I looking at the right stuff?

Viktora,
I searched the family on the 1911 Canadian Census on the Automated Genealogy and Ancestry sites.

Hi,
I think it is caissiere (cashier) also, and the other is palefrenier (stable worker)
