Can't read census entry - help!
« on: Monday 02 March 09 20:06 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help decipher what the "day" reference is in this excerpt from the 1851 census? I know that the person in question was an Ag Lab and Chelsea Pensioner, but don't know what the rest is!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
