Can't read 1891 census Completed

[Brie]

Hi,

I can't read a census entry - yet again

I would like to know the occupation of Sarah S Stickell (sic)
Ref: RG12/4685 p28

Thanks

not showing up on Ancestry ..... sure the spelling is correct ?

and no Folio number ...


can you give more detail - location / PoB etc ?

[karenlee]

I thought it looked like Shop ??

If you look further down the page, there are several other words starting with the letter "s" and these compare well with the first letter of the word in question.  Fairly certain that the next one is an "h".

Might be wrong tho... it's happened before ( shhh, don't tell anyone though )

whats the full RG12 refn then Karenlee ?

 

Ancestry doesnt seem to have the 4685 PIECE ?

LKL Sorry, it's Folio 55 Isle of Man.

& Karenlee, I think you will be right  I have just found Sarah in 1901 and she is listed as a stationer, shopkeeper.

Thank-you both

Isle of Man 1891

RG12/4685/55/28

I just put in Sarah S Stickell and there she was.....

Just hope it's the right one though...

Hi

The 1891 - definitely says stationer to me - just that the dot of the 'i' is a bit adrift 

after Stationer, could it be &c - an abbreviation for 'etc'  ?

Cheers

added: and in looking at the first t in 'stationer', compare with the occupation of Beatrice E (DUTTON?)  at Nr 6.  - how the word 'servant' has been written, esp. the 't'.  And how he has written tobacconist, above that too.

Thanks Ambly,

I'll go back and look at it again.
