Hi there,
I wondered if anyone could help me please as I can't make out what relationship** Charles Sweetland/Sweatland (spelt Splatt on ancestry!!!) b 1855 Churchstanton, has to the head of the house and also what the head of the house's surname is.
** it could be servant or grandson but I am not sure.
If you are able to decipher it that would be amazing :)
Thanks for reading my post.
Best wishes,
Emma

I read Serv.

It looks like a ‘Do’ for ditto - he’s a servant.
The head looks to be Luke Dimond.

Great, thank you so much and for looking up the maiden name of Martha, much appreciated.

Thank you everyone for your time and effort. This boy is a mystery as he vanishes after 1871, he was the son of Nathaniel Sweetland and Louisa nee Coles. This was the last record of him and now I know a bit more. Many thanks.

I have not seen this information before, thank you so much for sharing it with me. It is possible as there are not that many Charles Sweetlands and they move back and forth between Yarcombe and chard. Thank you :)

Ahh OK, thank you very much. He was registered as Charles Cole (his mother's surname) but then Louisa married his father Nathaniel 2 years later. He is in the 1861 census with them and is likely the servant above in the 1971 census. I just don't know what happens to him after that. In 1892 there is a Charles Sweetland in the right area who gets into a fight and is stabbed but survives, a brother called James is mentioned as a witness, but this may or may not be my Charles (British Newspaper Archives).
Thanks for helping me :)
