Anyone have X Ray vision to read this? :)
« on: Thursday 24 April 08 17:02 BST (UK) »
Ok, I'm probably asking the impossible, but can anyone decipher Emily Taylor's occupation please?

Thanks!

Goodness! How are you two able to see anything?!

It might be helpful to see what others are doing in the street, to see if there's a theme.

LOL!!!  I just had a look & it's quite a mixed list. It's from the 1901 RG13/399 155 31   if anyone wants to see the full page.

Has me baffled!!  :o

Apologies!!  How rude....I didn't thank any of you for trying to do the impossible!

It's very much appreciated.  I just checked the 1891 for clues but she wasn't working then :(

But thank you all for trying.

I think the curved line in the middle of the word is just some sort of check-mark, the same as appears in Blacksmith just above.

Noting that her husband doesn't seem to have an occupation (although not noted with a disability), it's quite possible that Charwoman, as suggested by Fisherman, is correct.
Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened.
