Title: Fund holder
Post by: diana1 on Thursday 06 May 10 18:56 BST (UK)

Does anyone know exactly what is meant by the term 'fund holder' as used to describe the person's occupation on a census?

Thank you

Jim Murray

Hi Jim

A fundholder could be described as someone who received an annual income from an investement of money (stocks and shares for example).

There is also the term often used in the censuses of Annuitant. Have a look at this other post which covers the meaning of annuitant www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,342048.0.html
