Occupation given in 1911 census

His appointment as a Male Learner in the Post Office would have been announced in The Gazette but as yet I haven't been able to find the announcement.

Hi Shaun, thanks for the tip-off. I found the record in both the London Gazette and the Edinburgh Gazette. It gives his place of work as Lydney (Glos.), and he was appointed after a 'limited competition'.

Add - his name only showed up when entered in full - Patrick George Kennedy. The Gazette appears to be a very useful resource.

Just in case anyone was wondering – yes, there were female learners too (lots of hits in newspapers).
