Thank you Carole

If it is the same formula as for grandparents/great grandparents, would that not make you a granduncle/great granduncle

Is the word clearly “owner” or might it be something else?
Have you seen the image or just a transcript?
What was his occupation on other censuses?

I've seen the image more than once, but I'll go and hve another look at it.  I once had a feller describe his occupation on the 1911 census as Car Driver, it turned out he was a tram driver in Blackpool

Occupation Interests / 1881 Census - Occupation Car Owner
« on: Tuesday 13 June 23 21:53 BST (UK)  »
On an 1881 census I've been looking at, the head of the household gives his occupaton as Car Owner.  It's puzzled me, what exactly does he mean?  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
