    Hallo Linda

    It looks like steactrypher !

    but I wonder if it might be stenographer?

        Thankyou both,

        I wonder why the enumerator was so specific, off to see if I can discover the difference I think you may be right about the different handwriting Jill, now that it is pointed out.

          The other handwriting is used by another person to designate types of work for collating purposes.

            Thanks for that Nell. Been and had a quick look. If he was a stenotyper that looks like it means he used one of those short hand typing machines or am I barking up the wrong tree????
