Thought it might be a good idea if we started a list of abbreviations we have come accross on the 1841 census. Sometimes it isn't alsway obvious and not all enumerators followed the rules!
Here's some that I've seen - add yours.
J or Jn Journeyman
Ap Apprentice
M S or F S Male or Female Servant
m Maker (as in Cabinet Maker, Shoe Maker)
M Manufacturer
Mt Merchant
Ind Of Independent Means
Vis Visitor
Ag Lab Agricultural Labourer
Mer Sea Merchant Seaman
P Pensioner or Pauper
Rail Lab Railway Labourer
Anymore for anymore?
