1851 Census Occupation
« on: Sunday 12 July 09 15:39 BST (UK) »
Hi all

Can someone please help me decipher my ancestors occupation in the 1851 census. At the time he was living / working in a pub in Dunkirk, Kent. The image attached shows his occupation on the left hand side. The right hand side is the description given by his wife who was living a few houses down from the pub

Regards

Lee
