What is this occupation?
« on: Friday 05 August 16 17:31 BST (UK) »
Can anyone hazard a guess on what this occupation is? It is from a 25 year old married man in a rural area of wales in 1891. Others on the same page are farmers etc. Thanks!

Is is possible to give us the person's details so we can compare the writing with the others on the page.  I wonder if it is Welsh??

Well it look like it is an Agricultural classification (the letters Ag by the side of it).  And the second word looks to me like "hind".  So something hind???

I think the second word is hired.  The first word possibly starts with an R an S or perhaps D  could it be Daily?  Daily hired Ag.

Purlin may be right.  That second word could very well be "hired" and not "hind" as I suggested.

In 1901 he is 'carter on a farm' - Ag/horse. RG13; Piece: 595; Folio: 12; Page: 16.

Where/what is he in 1881? What did his father do?

First letter looks like a 'B' to me, there is a Benjamin further up the page. Could second word be 'hand'?

Josey

ADDED: There's a William Jones 76 retired horse dealer next door in 1891. Could this be his father/grandfather? Might the second word be 'livery'?

Hmmm...

Looks like it begins with "B" Bily/Bely but.....

May be a fancy "R" & abbreviated Rely".....
