Hi

What about a Gatherer ~ A glassworker who inserted the blow iron into the molten glass ready for the glass blower.

That sounds like.a job for a young 18 year old learning his trade. Thank you so much... Everyone and Claire thank you

Glass  Cutter   or Glass Polisher?

Which town did he live in?   That often  provides a clue.

Was it St Helens?    Where glass was manufactured.

No, Manchester, Newton Heath though he did live briefly in Salford. Every piece of evidence I have (limited I admit) his daughters birth and wedding certificate and my grandmother spent hours with him chatting about his work as a Glass Blower, so this census is definitely him. Cutter is a possibility!

it looks to me that the last four letters are "erer" but I can't think of any occupation except caterer  ;D
and that wouldn't go after glass... stumped!

Thank you Scouseboy :)

Hi,
my Great x 2 Granddad William Taylor was a Glass Blower, the 1871 census shows him working with glass but not blower... however I can't make it out!

Can anyone help please?

I remember hearing that Michael Parkinson was a bit annoyed that his family weren't chosen for a programme. They did the research but there was no 'angle' to it. They were all Barnsley miners, considered by the producers to be too boring for tv.

That sounds about right, why have ordinary working folk, who all did the same job for generations when you can have pioneers, famous folk and other nobility.... I'm waiting for them to find Cleopatra is their great x how many grandmother  ;D ;D ::) ::)  :P :P

Lancashire / Re: Sarah Ann Rothbourne 1857 birth in Hulme.

Here's the other Sarah Ann we had earlier.

1876 marriage James Ingram and Sarah Ann Holt.
1881 the Ingrams are living in Pearson Street with children and mother in law Sarah Rathbone.

So that accounts for the Holts.

It also does show that people can remarry within a short time of first marriage.

I agree, one of my Gt Gt Gt Granddad's did, but William never remarried after Sarah Ann died, that much is known for certain. His oldest daughter and her family are with him on the 1891 census, he is still unmarried, and again 1901 and 1911.

Sarah Ann seems to be too young to be married prior to her marriage to William.

Samuel Joseph Rathbone baptised 6th February 1859 at St Jude, Ancoats
Mother Ann
Canning Street

possibly Sarah Ann's brother, determining which of the birth's is my Sarah Ann is proving difficult

There may be more Sarah Anns though. We are crossing them off the list though  ;)
Bev,
It would be worth checking other children's birth certificates. As you point out Sarah Ann may have been illiterate but if the certificate you have is a typed copy, then there could be errors in the transcription.

One by one,  ;)  yes, we are crossing them off - Thank you all for your help and input, I've had a busy family weekend, but head is back into searching mode and I'm going through all the info you have found for me - sieving it through to find her  ;D ;D

This seems to be before William was born, but he would probably have followed his father in trade
