Can anyone read the occupation

Post by Hilary »

On the 1841 census there is a man indexed as William Hinmore at

HO107 piece 569 book 4 folio 24 page 1

He's 20 and I think it says no for born in county but I can't read the occupation.

I think the surnamme should possibly be Hinmers.

Any suggestions gratefully received

No Maureen, it's of Quay Street, Deansgate, Manchester.

Looks like Accountant to me, also seems as if it's an area where professional people are living, Surveyor of Taxes, Clerk of Works, Engineers, an accountant would fit right in.

Hi Hilary,
Surname looks like Hinmere or Hinmers and occupation Accountant to me. And it does say No for county.
