Occupation deciphering please
« on: Tuesday 31 January 12 15:44 GMT (UK) »
Hello

Could someone interpret the top and bottom line please? the top really, as the occupations are for two different people. The top occupation belongs to a 64 year old in 1871 (My 5x great grandmother). Thanks again!

and her children (all born Staffordshire/Worcestershire):
Ann Mooney, born 1856
Martin Mooney, born 1862
Thomas Mooney, born 1864
Joanna Mooney, born 1866
Agnes Mooney, born 1868
Theresa Mooney, born 1870

Can you give her name so that the writing can be compared to other writing on the page?

Definitely Laundress to me, too.  I've looked through the other pages and found a Labourer for comparison.
