Can't read this occupation
« on: Sunday 02 November 08 18:16 GMT (UK) »
I got a marriage certificate but cannot read the occupation of the bride. Can anyone help? I thought it might be dressmaker, especially as her husband was a tailor. But it does not really look like dressmaker. Any suggestions welcome.

Hi

It's a bit big but I think it is Dressmaker - with the old-style 's' that looks like an 'f'

I think this is Dressmaker, when a word contained two 'S'' one was written long and one short and  the long one looked like letter F.
Hope this helps.
