Occupation on 1841 census
« on: Thursday 08 April 21 16:14 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I'm trying to work out the occupation for a John Shaw, age 20, on the 1841 census for Prestwich cum Oldham. I think it's something something fitter, but I can't work it out.

;D Doing my best, but frequently wrong ;D
:-* My thanks to everyone who helps me, you are all marvellous :-*
