Occupation and place of birth.

[Kelger123]

Hi,  Can anyone decipher the occupation and place of birth (Cor Green?) in the attached?  Taken from the 1871 Census of Pattinson Town, Durham.

Thanks
Gerry

Sorry I cannot see the attachment so I will try to attach it here.  No luck, it will not allow me to upload the attachment even though I renamed it.  Can you at least try to decipher where the place of birth might be from the info provided?

Coxgreen/ Cox Green.  Was on the south side of the River Wear.  Pattinson Town now part of Washington was directly opposite on the north bank.  Large chemical works dominated the north side .

Can you give the census page reference so we can take a look at the occupation?

I'll have a guess at William Kirtley given his address at Ford.  Just a guess though.

Can we still ask where people are really from?
