1841 occupation abbreviations
« on: Tuesday 06 July 10 15:36 BST (UK) »
Dear Friend,

Can you tell me what W. N. M. stands for as an occupation in the 1841 census.

Thank you.

Hi

Have you checked the help guide to censuses at the top of the Rootschat London and Middlesex boards? There are two links in the guide to census abbreviations (census helper) is probably better.

I don't know WNM but WKM is workman. Does that seem likely in the context you have?


Regards

Valda

Many thanks, Valda, I think it probably is 'workman'.
