Help deciphering 1911 Occupation (COMPLETE)
« on: Sunday 09 August 09 18:11 BST (UK) »
Could someone please help me with my Gt Gt Grandfathers occupation on the 1911 census.

I got the occupation as Dock Labourer but the next column (Industry or Service with which worker is connected) is a little harder to read.

Thanks,
Lorraine

Hi Lorraine,

Just a guess, really: Steam Ship Coy

Thanks Tati.
Thanks Elin.

I was thinking Steam too, but was looking at the next bit as one word.

Sounds good to me  :)

Thank you  :)
