Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Abbreviations after person's name
« on: Friday 15 September 17 08:01 BST (UK) »
I've found one of ours in 1914 Kelly's Directory for Reading. The entry reads:
Biddles, William Byron R.V.S., A.A.C.L., A.P.S.L. Sydney and what looks like 1o, 40 Prospect Street; TN 102.
William was a chemist/druggist and veterinary surgeon. One census has 'dental and veterinary surgeon' but having seen no further evidence of the occupation of dentist elsewhere I suspect that 'chemist' may have been said but heard as 'dentist'. (An unusual combination in any case.)
My problem is that I cannot find what the abbreviations stand for. Any help will be appreciated.
