Identifying an Occupation
« on: Wednesday 13 September 06 20:55 BST (UK) »
Can anyone perhaps identify this occupation from a 1871 census (copy attached)

Many thanks

Hi Alan can you show a bit more - it sometimes helps to look at the way other letters are formed?

I agree it does look like Slater House - would'nt it have been a House Slater though, or is that something else?

Hi Alan

Definitely Slater, House.  It is quite common to find an occupation qualified in census returns, for example: Servant, Domestic.
