Cannot read occupation
« on: Monday 27 November 23 15:08 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone decipher this occupation? My Relative was in service for this family and I can see he was a farmer..but can't read who he employed and how many acres.

It's Johnathon Grant, 1861, Wilcott RG9/307 pg13

many thanks

Possibly
30 men, 12 boys but I can’t read what follows
Then 752 … (is there 17 on that line too?)
1851 1844/202/36
Shows 753 acres and 53 labourers

Can you post a little clip of it so others can have a look?

Is it Wilcot in Wiltshire or somewhere else?
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

NB - it's piece RG9/1307 (not 307), and it is Wilcott in Wiltshire.

I read it as 30 men 12 Boys 9 Wo [presumably Women]
The next line has Farm then what looks like its acreage: 753.3.17 (acres.roods.perches, I think)

  Last 7 (in 17 ) looks like the first 7 in 753) if it helps
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
