Can U Read Farming Family

[Tati]

I think the second one could be ind for "indoor"? 

(and I agree both seem to have been added later)

Thanks all
I wonder if it's a combination of your suggestions

'son and ind farm labourer'
ind meaning indoors
or it could be ind for independent ?
How confusing

thanks for all the comments

Sorry the mists have just cleared !
yes unpaid make sense - unpaid housework

as for my last post - it can't be 'son and ind ...' as he has a different surname from the head of the household'

the bit that looks like 'son and'  maybe is a statistician's note as Spiderboy suggested

The Ind will mean indoor. It will mean that although working on the farm he worked indoors - chrning butter/milking cows/making cheese etc.

The indoor farm jobs were a step up from Ag Labs

Thanks Rose
Yes I think it must be indoor too
Thanks for your help

'Unpaid Housework' looks like the lady cleaned house for the Farmers wife and didn't get paid for it.

Thanks Jean
Yes I am coming to the conclusion that is the most likely
thanks

am I right in presuming that the Unpaid Houseworker was the wife of the Son-in-law ?

[cheshiremog]

Yes
I think so too
Sounds like she had to work her way up through the pecking order
