Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Request for help with faint 1841 census entry from Ancestry.
« on: Monday 24 November 14 09:10 GMT (UK) »
I attach a page from the 1841 census for Batheaston near Bath, Somerset.
Ancestry has transcribed the children and ages clearly on another page but does not list the occupations or yes/no answers.
I'm interested in the occupation of the head of the household in the red box on the attached page. It looks like "foot monger" to me but I'm sure that can't be right!
The children were christened in Somerset and the "Born in the county?" answer seems to be "Y" for them but am I right in thinking the parents are "No"?
I'd be very grateful for any help from anyone who's better at reading these things than I am!
Thanks,
Therese
