Trying to decipher this 1851 census entry- does that read as "concubine" ?

UD,

Richard is openly admitting the kids are his.

Where were the children born (can't make it out)?

I haven't had an illegitimate English/Irish/Welsh or other birth/baptism (yet) i.e. not sure what would be on the cert?...I only have Scottish illegitimacy.

Would be interested to know?

Hi Rosinh,

They were all born in Jacobstow, with Mary coming from Week, St Mary. Mary's daughter Elizabeth went on to have two illegitimate children before marrying my ancestor. I cannot find baptisms under either Ferrett or Steer for any of the four children.

And I cannot believe someone would have put her occupation down as "strumpet" either.

 but that line is crossed out so what does that mean, she's not a 'Strumpet' 

Possibly because it wasn't one of the official categories of occupations?

[Rosinish]

Thanks Stevie,

Just got that as I was posting!

Possible older child who may have died.......

Transcription a bit wonky but could fit possibly (if it is an error)

Possibly the line through Strumpet would be red on the original paperwork which was just a checking mark not necessarily a crossing out

Suzard,

Probably to remind himself to look it up just as I had to do.....

I'd never come across that word 'Strumpet' in my entire life in text.

I had heard it 'used loosely' many moons ago, never gave it a thought as to the meaning so looked it up today.

Isn't genealogy fun, has it's own dictionary too
