1871 Census David Murphy
« on: Friday 09 November 12 16:29 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help figure out this occupation from 1871 census for David Murphy, born in Manchester in 1848, residing at 22 Crown Street, Hulme, Manchester?

Sorry, I can't figure out how to attach the document.  Perhaps someone would take a look at the original census and see if they can decipher the occupation for me.  RG10, Piece 4003, Folio 8, Page 8

Thanks

It does look like 'Bury sweeps militia'.  I have no idea what that is.

Thanks for your help.
