Title: Occupation for boy?
Post by: rubymelia on Tuesday 06 August 19 14:05 BST (UK)

Can anyone decipher the occupation of my ancestor? it is the occupation at the bottom (below Hawker).

Note: He is a 15 year old boy living in Liverpool. Father is a bricklayer labourer and grandfather is a hawker. Thanks

Foundry Hand. The first word is 'Iron' and has been added later by someone classifying occupations.

So he was working in an Iron Foundry  :)
