  • Spare pair of eyes please

    I have found who I think/hope is my greatgrandfather but I am unable to read his occupation.

    His father was a "Mariner" in the 1841 and 1851 census and I think I have found him on the 1861 where his occupation is "Rigger". This 1861 occupation makes sense as they lived in Liverpool and a Rigger is still a water occupaton.

    I need a second pair of eyes to have a look at the occupation of John. It looks like "Seaman" as the S looks the same as his brother William who is a Scholar. BUT further up on the page is someone who is a Seaman and the S looks totally different.

    The details are....John Roberts, 1861 census

    RG9
    Piece 2668
    Folio 31
    Page 7

    He is 4th from the bottom.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    I think it's seaman, although I agree with you that it is different to the other seamans.
