Difficult to read census
« on: Thursday 04 December 08 19:59 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Would anybody be able to suggest what these census occupation entries are?  They were 3 siblings in their mid twenties living together in 1901 in Kirkdale Liverpool after the death of their parents if that helps.

Thanks,
Martin

Maybe "Making Paper B" was added by the census checkers and concerns the occupation below?  :)

Thanks for all your help - if you would like to look at the census itself it is Timothy Comerford (20), Mary Ellen Comerford (25) and Joseph Comerford (17) in the 1901 census, Kirkdale, Liverpool.
