1841 Manchester census
« on: Wednesday 03 June 20 19:41 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Any help on this entry for John Blakeley?  Have no idea on his occupation. Also is that an I in last column of where born, Scotland, Ireland or Foreign Parts?  He died before 1851 and his marriage registration gives no clue on his origins.
TIA

Iron <something>?

I don't think that the mark in the final column is an "I".
All other entries are neatly (vertically) spaced from the dividing line?
Garrad (Suffolk, Essex, Somerset), Crocker (Somerset), Vanstone (Devon, Jersey), Sims (Wiltshire), Bridger (Kent)

I think it's Iron Moulder - and the letter in the final column is very similar to the 'I' in Iron.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

That whole page has either a y or n marked in second last column, (whether born in same county).  Only 2 entries that have nothing marked in that column but the last column is marked with ?

I have no idea?  LOL

Then it must be an "I" for Ireland. ;D
