Madeley Staffordshire

Bar Hill House

In the household of a John Strick a Mining Engineer age 52 b Swansea Wales

Is a Mary Robertson Ebizamias age 30 a Domestic servant cook b Scotland

The surname is hard to read , does anyone else think it might be Mary Robertson Wemyss?

I think it is a strong possibility- perhaps an enumerator trying to make sense of someone else's writing?
I was trying to attach the image but can't for some reason.

Yes, I think that this is her.

My transcription of the surname is  Weymise

so between them the enumerator and the transcriber made a bit of a mess ;D
