Title: Struggling to decipher occupation
Post by: marklogan on Friday 17 June 22 08:52 BST (UK)

Hi

I was hoping someone might be able to help me decipher the occupation on the second line here. My guess was that it was possibly 'Wool Spinner' as I know his son and other members were weavers.

I have attached a copy of the portion of the death certificate in question and would appreciate anyones opinions on what it could be.

Thanks in advance
Mark

Looks like Wool Spinner to me also.

Wool Spinner. The second o runs into the loop from the letter above.  Similarly with the p in spinner!

Hi everyone

Thanks for the prompt replies. Much appreciated and good to know that I was on the right lines. Probably explains why he died of bronchitis if he was working in the conditions of those factories.

Thanks again
