1841 census
HO107/313/ Book14/ Folio 57/ Page 29
Nile Street, Thornley

John Wallace, 40, banksman at coal mine, Y

Can anyone make out the second word of George's occupation?


Looks like "Banksman at Coal Mine" to me.

It was the occupation of George aged 15 that I was unsure about. Clearly John is a banksman, as I put in reply 14.

Sorry Jennifer - I should have looked more carefully at your message...

Do you think it might just be "Labourer Coal"?  The "C" is quite like that in the name of Catherine Wallace snr, though not so similar to the one in Catherine jnr's, or in "Coal" further down the page.
