any idea what a boatwarie was
« on: Saturday 12 February 05 22:40 GMT (UK) »
hi

just wondered if anyone knew what a boatawarie was in the 1871 census and why he was the only msn aboard on  census night?

thanks

hi

no, he is listed as a boatawarie, do you think that it could be the same as a boatswain? (im new to this occupation thing)

thanks

Yes, I agree with Hackstaple, more than likely boatswain.

RG10/641 page 114

I remember looking this up for you before.

He is only listed as Boatawarie in the index - the same as he is listed as born West Bromwich in the index.  I looked it up then and it was a bad transcription - birthplace Woodchurch.
