Thank you so much.

My Hugh, was a labourer, son of a farmer ( Richard ), in 1840
               labourer, in 1845
               farmer in 1857

Census entries give him as ag lab also.

In my searching I have come across Sailor for some Sharrocks, with a sailor / tailor ?  on some records.


I am slowly trying to piece together the family, hoping to find where neice Jane fits in.

Hi Junket --- I can sympathise with the Sailor/Tailor quandary. I have families from around the same area -- and for  ages thought that one of them was a Tailor. He turned out to be a Boatman -- hence 'Sailor'.
