Title: Deciphering Occupation on Death Certificate - Help needed.!
Post by: TheOnlyRogueAngel on Wednesday 23 September 20 11:50 BST (UK)

I've received my great grandmother's death certificate, but can't read the second word of her registered occupation... the entry reads Factory Machinist/C     , but that's as much as I can decipher. Would anyone know what the second word is please.?

Thanks in advance,

Alexa

Could it be Cosmetics?

@Norfolkman47, fantastic.! Good eye... thank you... now I look at it with that in mind it does look like cosmetics. :)

@Rosie99, unfortunately not.

Thanks for all your help.
