  • 1841 census - what is the occupation please?

    I know what i think it says, but I need other opinions.

    Robert Rust about halfway down the page

    also, what is the occupation of Mary who is living with him?

    I think it says Tailor and Marys is School ??.

    Not easy to read and I'm sure some one else will help

        Yes, I can see School something for Mary.

        Robert, I found his burial record in 1848 on FreeReg. It says he was parish clerk for 21 years.

        I think his occuption was perhaps tailor. I am going to keep searching FreeReg this morning, got too sleepy last right.
        Perhaps one of the baptism records of his children mentions the fathers occupation.

          No fathers occupation mentioned for Robert in the baptism records. But, son Robert who I have on his death cert as a horsebreaker is listed as a tailor on the early baptism records for his children and then a horsebreaker in later years.

          Interesting change of occupation

            Maybe, as with many tailors, his eyesight failed him. I can hardly see to thread a needle these days!

            I also have a line of tailors in my tree and one of them is listed in later years as blind.

            Horsebreaking would require, I imagine, strength and patience (just re-reading Black Beauty!) but not good eye for detailed work.
