AAhhh!! please help.. cannot read this at all.

Dear All,
Hopefully some lovely people out there may be able to help with a wee problem I have. For 2 years I have searched for parentage of a relative of mine. I have finally found some possible solution, however a) I cannot read the fathers name or occupation (does it say Mason?) and when you put the data in Ancestry for any possible interpretation of the spelling which looks clearly right to me ( as I know what it says - Biddiscombe) nothing comes up so I am sure it's written as something different but what? Name is 8 down on right side.
Can anyone help please. Thank you

Is there something wrong with the document I downloaded it but it was empty.

I did the same, it showed "no pre-view available"

sorry ancestry won't let me save in anything but Html and rootschat doesn't want me to upload it. Ref is HO 107/1174/6 if anyone can find it. 1841 census under Mary Biddlecombe (need name above this one ) for Hindon or East Knoyle,  wiltshire. Mary was born 1776. Find what I think is her living with her as Davis family. Should read Biddiscombe not Biddlecombe but cannot read husbands name or occupation. Hopefully someone can find it for me.
Sorry couldn't be more useful at this

Looks like Biddiscombe to Me, occupation looks to be Jo(urneyman) Mason.

Or did you want to know the ancestry transcription?

That is Biddlecombe.

Definitely Biddiscombe, given name William abbreviated to Willm. yes, I agree occupation Jo. Mason ( journeyman).  Yes, Ancestry index transciption is Biddlecombe.

These of any use ?

Death
William Biddiscombe
Mar ¼ 1844 Tisbury (Wilts)  8  344

Mary Biddiscombe
Dec ¼  1846  Tisbury (Wilts)  8  314

Findmypast has it indexed correctly as Biddiscombe 

It might be worth making a correction on ancestry as that would help other researchers to find it

Kind regards

Hi Romawi

Have a look at http://www.pope-genealogy.me.uk/41174.html#bk6

This piece (1174) was transcribed in 2007/08 by a FreeCen volunteer and checked by myself. All the entries show "Biddlecombe"
I would be inclined to accept this as the correct version of spelling used on the census

The spreadsheet is the advance copy variant  uploaded onto FreeCen

The advantage of looking at this format is that you can scroll through the book to get an appreciation of its contents and also search using "Ctrl F"
