Help with deciphering occupation/street Completed
« on: Tuesday 29 September 09 16:58 BST (UK) »
Hi.
Please is someone able to decipher Alexander Bruckshaw's (Head) occupation? I am unable to workout the 1st word. I think the remaining 2 words maybe 'floor polisher'? but not 100% sure
Also is someone able to decipher the street name for the family residence please.  1 ? Ardwick Manchester.
I hope that the doc. is attached correctly.
Thank you in anticipation
Carole

Hello cazat and welcome to RootsChat

I hope someone can assist you - but the mods may remove the census - we are not allowed to post 1911 census (copyright issues) but you can post the part you are interested in - e.g. the first 2 words and the street name

Just didn't want you to be offeneded if the doc is removed - we just try to save RootsChat from getting into trouble

Thank you :-) I was just reading up in FAQ and guessed after I posted it was wrong. I will remove and do as you suggest.

Thank you for your replies  :) I can see it is possibly tiverton street. Thank you.
If it is 'Ronick' I wonder what is it in floor polishing terms ???

Any chance you could make the relevant occupation words any larger?
