Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1861 Census - help with reading an occupation
« on: Sunday 18 October 20 05:41 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I've found a family of mine in the 1861 Census at RG9/304 folio 111 page 31. In particular I'm interested in the family of George Burgess. It's George, his wife Ann, their children and a boarder John Burgess who I think might be George's brother.
However, in the image scan on Ancestry, I can't read John's occupation. Is there anyone who can make out what it says? I believe they're mistranscribed as 'Burgers' on one site.
Any help very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tn
