Title: Cant read a bit on 1871 census
Post by: 111den111 on Sunday 06 December 09 17:18 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Sorry is this is really obvious but I am stuck on one word from the 1871 census.  I am trying to work out what Henry Price worked as.  I have put a red cross next to his name and occupation.  To me it looks like it is saying 'groom 91' ??  Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

The picture of the census is on the link below.

I suspect the 91 is a numeric code for him being a groom (Occupational code)
