Help with reading 1871 Census Address and Occupation

Post by **42aitch** » 09 Apr 2009 21:27

I am doing some research for a friend and cannot read the address or his occupation on the 1871 Census for her relative George and Susanna Cooke.

Is is RG10/3758/110/52 and they are fourth and third from the bottom. I have the 1881 - 1891 and 1901 Census for them.

He was a Brass Finisher on the other Census's

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Eileen
I can see Brass the next word starts with lower case f ends in er, looks like Brass finisher.
They were in the courts in Bond St, it clearer to read on page 49.
Gore's Directory has Titchfield St crossing it which appears on page 48.
Bond St ran from Vauxhall Rd to Limekiln Lane.

Cheers
Happy Easter

Hi Thanks Tina and Colette, turned up Trumps again!!!

I thought it was Courts in Bond Street, I had looked back a couple of pages but not as far as Page 49.

It always helps to have another person looking in as I had difficulty reading it, it was so faint and magnifying it just seemed to blur it.

Hope everyone has a Very Happy and Peaceful Easter and I hope that the Sun Shines on you all
