Occupation on death certificate- **completed**
« on: Saturday 13 June 09 13:21 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Not sure where it is just my disappointment with the occupation not simply being widow of (had hoped to get confirmation of her husband who died before 1841) but I can't seem to make out what the part before woman says on the first line.  Please can someone enlighten me?

Thanks, Jo

Almswoman - I think; someone getting some sort of financial support from the Parish .....

Many thanks to both of you.  Always looks so obvious once you've been told what it is ;)

Best wishes,  Jo
