Help needed deciphering the census
« on: Sunday 03 August 08 21:07 BST (UK) »
Hi

Can anyone help with a bit of deciphering for me on the 1851 census.

For George Curtis b 1804 in Cold Aston living in Gt Barrington, Gloucestershire.  His occupation is Stone Mason but there is more in brackets but I can't read it.

Class: HO107; Piece: 1970; Folio: 30; Page: 10; GSU roll: 87370.

Thanks Tracey

I think it says "7 men" over "master employ" (stone mason master employing 7 men)

wrjones - where did you see the 2 boys bit?

Well Justkia I think there is definitely a figure 2 there as well.

So others can have a look - I also think it's master employing 7 men...

What looks like a figure 2 is underneath the word men.
