  • Help with reading 1901 census please

    May I have some help reading occupations on the 1901 census please? hoping that someone can fill in the blanks!

    RG13; Piece: 94; Folio: 104; Page: 19 -It's the household of Charles King & wife Ada at the House of Commons.

    I think Charles occupation reads - Manager of resfreshment ...?...ment? House of Commons

    My relative is a servant:
    Ada H Hammond single aged 32 occ ...?.. room? maid

    Thanks for looking

      Oh thanks Elaine ! Been looking at this for a couple of hours now and just couldn't make out what it said, it's quite clear now though!

      Thanks also for the link, I wouldn't have had a clue what she did! Off to look at that.
