1841 Census Occupation Indecipherable
« on: Wednesday 14 March 12 23:24 GMT (UK) »
Dear Rootschatters,  :)

Would any kind person be able to help determine the occupation listed for John Windover and his son William in the 1841 Census record?

Source citation-Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece: 237; Book: 2; Civil Parish: St Mary Ottery; County: Devon; Enumeration District: 2; ; Page: 1; Line: 18; GSU roll: 241318.

It appears to be  ??? "H......... maker"  ???  for both father and son. Would greatly appreciate anyone cleverer than me to assist,

Many thanks,

Pilgrims Progress  :)

Hi think they are possibly both Harness Makers?

PS in 1851 William the son is a Master Harness Maker
