  • William Beaumont - Occupation

    I don't know if anyone can help me with the transcription of an occupation from the 1851 census piece 1700 folio 129 page 39.

    It is the occuption of William aged 20 years do you think it is

    - lawyer
    - sayer
    -lamper

    bearing in mind his father and brothers are a wheelwright I am sure it can't be lawyer, but what does anyone else think?

    Thank you

    I think it is Sawyer - the S is very similar to the S in Scholar, a few lines down.

      I also did not think the "w" in the middle looked like the W for wheelwright hence I decided it might be lamper but no idea what a lamper is!
      Thank you
