Help please with occupation abbreviation F J ??
« on: Tuesday 03 April 12 19:53 BST (UK) »
Hi

I'm not sure about posting census images here.  I am looking at HO 107/ 1316/8 page 20.  Stamped as 14 (folio?)

The person in question in Nancy Snowden (transcribed as Snowder) in 1841.  Her occupation appears to be F.J. or F.T. perhaps.

I just wondered if someone could take a look and see what they thought please.

I would be very grateful as I know very little about her and she passed away shortly after her son's birth I believe.

Thanks in advance (fingers crossed I have doen the page number ok)

it says F. S. which was the standard abbreviation for Female Servant.

I think it's FS short for Female Servant  :)

The reference is HO 107 / 1316 / 8/ 20/ 14 (i.e. you put the folio number before the page number)  :)
