Pot hawker?

Hi Joanne

It looks like

<something>
Hawker

But I can't be sure  - I'm trying to find a Joseph Kennedy and a Mary Stronach on the censuses to verify.

Added - just seen Annie's post - it definitely starts with a P and is a 3 letter word so I'd go with Pot

This couple perhaps? 1881 http://tinyurl.com/63fx35x

It looks very much like them, Geoff 

Just got there tree up on Ancestry (Carr Family)

First child is shown as John b. 1884 



JL

The Kennedy one also shows William - 1881 - 1935  - this is the one that Joanne had the cert from

Thanks everyone for the replies,  whats a Pot Hawker  Will have to look it up. Also who got them on the 1881 census, i tried and it didnt come up, i thought it was because he was born in 1881

Hi, Joanne, looks like Pot Hawker to me.  A Hawker was a pedlar - so he sold Pots.

Hi Joanne

The Family search site is up and down today so you might not be able to get the 1881 link to work

Try searching for Joseph Kennedy b. 1863, Wakefield  in Tadcaster, Yorkshire

The ref is RG11/4713/58/18

I'm glad someone else has found the Family Search Site difficult today,I was beginning to think the problem was my end!
