Occupation in 1939 register
« on: Thursday 21 November 24 17:58 GMT (UK) »
Hello all

Can anyone read what the highlighted occupation is in the 1939 register please?

It is for a female born July 1924 so only 15 years old but doesn't look like she's still at school.

I've included a lot of other entries for handwriting clues.

Thanks.

Well, it starts off with “Seeking work.”

added: birth year is 1924 so Not pre[viously] emp[loyed]?

Agree with AlanBoyd that it
 starts with Seeking Work, but as its quite small on my screen not sure what the rest of it is

Thanks - so obvious when you say it!  I was thinking it was supply or suking or ???  Then NOT something but the page is curved so the rest is not in shot.

For info I think you can make the image bigger by using ctrl+ if using a computer.

My mum's record says "Not previously employed", so I'm sure you are right. She was born in 1923.

I've just enlarged it and I agree with Alan - 'Not Pre  Emp...'
