My father was a 'miller' in a big factory - it meant he operated a milling machine which did precision cutting out of parts for xray machines and the like. It was a skilled job requiring understanding of technical drawing & use of the machinery.


When asked for official forms what his job was he always said 'Miller setter operator'.


Maybe your man used a similar machine & thought of himself like that.

I've found a family who might be mine in the 1851 census living in Green Street, parish of St Luke's, Chelsea, Middlesex. Googling it just brings up Green Street in Newham. Can anyone tell me where it might have been please? Just idle curiosity really as I have the general area, but I'd be very grateful if someone could point me to it. [size=78%] [/size]



Thank you

I thought Twine spinner too.

I've been very pleased with the 1921 census for a few reasons: 1) I don't have to subscribe to FindMyPast to access the records so I think the price per record is very good value. I don't know why people are complaining, £3.50 is the price of a coffee in some places    2)  The site didn't crash when I went on the day after its release   3) I was able to see enough free info (who else was in the household) to decide which were 'my' records so didn't waste money     4). Best of all - it confirmed that GGranny Sweeney WAS born in Carlisle as my mother always said, in spite of various censuses stating Newcastle or Northumberland - so I was able to find her birth on the GRO and will be getting the bc as she is a bit of a mystery. For me that small detail was a big leap forward!

I hardly ever use the WhatsApp camera, I find it easier to take a photo on my phone in the regular way then share it. That way I can crop it or adjust the contrast etc. Cropping is useful if it's a big screenshot.


I've found that any app that can take pictures always needs permission. And all WhatsApp pictures I receive go into my gallery into a WhatsApp folder that was already there. All pictures I take appear in my camera or screenshot folder. But I know all phones work differently.
