meaning of 'brot up" on census
« on: Friday 08 October 04 12:21 BST (UK) »
Hello All

Have just received  a entry for a family member out of the Devon 1841 Census and underneath the address is the word 'Brot Up'.

Does anybody have any idea on what this means?

Very confused
Regards

Hi,

In the link below is a census from the States and it used the term "brot up" to signify totals brought or carried over from the previous table.
