Title: 1841 Census Occupation COMPLETED
Post by: grantleydawn on Sunday 14 November 10 08:51 GMT (UK)

Could someone please tell me what the occupation was of Robert ROBERTS?

My target is Edwin SAMWELL (line above). He was a Draper.

I am trying to decide if this location was a "house" or business premises. It was at Haberdashers Walk, Parish of Shoreditch, Borough of The Tower Hamlets.

Regards
Grantley
