1861 Census
« on: Sunday 30 July 23 15:40 BST (UK) »
Could somebody please help me to read the occupation of my 3 x Great Grandfather, James Hargreaves from the 1861 Census of Bury. I can see Clog + Shoe Maker, PM (what's that?) but no further.   ???

In view of what follows, P.M. is probably Primitive Methodist, then Local Preacher.

In view of that, the following website might be of interest (it was very slow to load for me just now):

Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson
