Two occupations (one in French) - COMPLETED
« on: Monday 03 September 12 09:08 BST (UK) »
Hoping I can post two images in one post, as these are the only occupations I am having trouble with deciphering.

The first occupation is in French (Quebec) and the second is in English. I know his first occupation says 'Farmer,' but I don't know what the second one could be.

Thanks!

Thank you, Kevin!

Heading 17 is "Chief occupation or trade" and 18 is "Employment other than at chief occupation or trade, if any." I just don't know what the bold words under 18 could be... I have looked at the other occupations on the page and the writing is more like that of the word "Farmer," so it is hard to compare letters.

Hi

Could you give details of the person so I can see the whole page in the 1911 Canada census?

Line 1. "State where person is employed" (22) is 'cheese factory.'
