What job is this?
« on: Saturday 18 March 23 20:34 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I'm trying to work out what job/rank this person had, according to the 1841 census. I'm wondering if it's annuitant, or something that means something similar, but I'm not sure.

1841 census for Robert Poole

Piece:   972
Book:   2
Folio:   31
Page number:   7

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

There are on FindMyPast army records of a Robert Poole b 1764 enlisting (I think) in 1786 Taunton Somerset where he is living in 1841.
