Title: Thomas Hallwood 1851 Occupation
Post by: SamuelF992 on Tuesday 14 August 18 11:16 BST (UK)

Hi everyone

Trying to decipher this from the 1851 Liverpool census. Can work out that the first word is piano, but not sure of the next two. Looks something like foils?

Many thanks
Samuel

Piano forte - could the last word be Tuner
