Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / indesciferable occupations in the 1861 census!
« on: Sunday 22 October 17 22:18 BST (UK) »
HTTP://www.ancestry.co.uk/interactive/8767/MDXRG9_110_112-0035/8565423?backurl=https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/5579658/person/-1086445772/facts/citation/219819888/edit/record. I am trying to work out the occupations for the Tuckers. We have what looks like gilder, ? Brush drawer ( a female, his wife, ) gilder, and then something absolutely indecipherable, then scholar. I have not tried uploading anything here before. I have tried various sites which are supposed to help translate handwiting to no avail. Any help greatly appreciated.

Having looked up the Abraham Hall who did time, the sentence was ten years for breaking and entering with Larceny at Hertfordshire Quarter Sessions in 1869. It looks like the same chap except that the following year he is entered on the census as living at home. Now there are three possibilities. One is that it is someone different, secondly he could have been cleared for some reason and lastly that his father lied on the census to cover up the fact he was in prison. Bearing in mind my experience with faux marriages, I would not think that is as unlikely as it might sound. However if it was him he definitely wasnt in prison for ten years as he got married and had children! Any ideas? I assume if he was sent to prison there should be some record of his arrival which, again I assume would show his age and if he was subsequently cleared there would be a record of that. i have never checked criminal records before! Having discovered how colourful the lives of our ancestors seem to be its never a good idea to discount anything!

Thank you, I havent been doing any genealogy for quite a while as I ran out of things I could find out! I will restart though now I have a bit more to go on. He died from heart failure at the age of 64, caused by a leaky valve. In other words congestive cardiac failure. It would have caused a backflow of blood. We started be able to treat this in the 50s when we invented artificial valve, a relatively simple device. Died first Sept 1916 in St Albans Workhouse. He would have been progressively unwell some time before that. Presumably he was sent back or he returned home, perhaps fr his daughter to look after him or something. I also noted an Abraham Hall who did time, I have restarted my Ancestry subscription for now so I can look it up.

Thank you, I havent been on here for a while. Is there any way to found out why he went in in the first place? I have checked his records for a while, but I seem to recall he died there.

So sorry to take so long to get back to you, I have my son over from Hong Kong and its the school holidays so babysitting etc!. I have the 1841 census which says that charlotte was married to a Richard who was a tailor , plus Pallots marriage index and the banns of marriage, which doesnt say much in those days. It says charlotte married a richard but no details as to occupation etc and the witness seems to have been a master of something or the other, possibly he was an apprentice? So I know charlotte definately married a richard....................can you see my tree at all?
I am not sure where the henry came from. I can check but it may ber later tonight.

I had better ask someone to cross check my mothers lineage back to Trowbridge in Boldre!!! A fresh pair of eyes is often very useful. I have been there as well, and was just about to buy a plot in the churchyard so I could be buried in the same place as my ancestors!!!! Wouldnt it be aweful if I got it wrong! I will put up a seperate request

I am really quite depressed about that 
I will tap in the new name asap, although it may not be tonight and see what it throws up. I was really quite impressed that at least ONE of my ancestors had a trade. They are a really common lot! And I was pleased to visit the church and convinced myself one of my ancestors got married there! Took pics and everything
