what is her occupation 2?
« on: Sunday 09 September 12 22:24 BST (UK) »
This is the death cert if my 3 x great aunt rose Ann Devine.

Can anyone tell me what her job was. I can't make it out at all. She died in hospital in Edinburgh of acute alcoholism.

Hello -

If it is the occupation of number 530, Rose Ann Sheridan you are looking for, I would read that as 'Rag Collector'.

Yes that's the one, thank you :) seems like a pretty rubbish job. No wonder she died because of alcohol, by 1891 all her children are gone ( missing from the census or dead), her husband is dead, she's living in Edinburgh alone and is a rag collector, seems like she's got a pretty stable life hahaha,
