Come accross an awful census page (writing) John Mitchell born 1812, Bath Somerset. In 1861, still in Somerset, in Lyncombe & Widcombe Parish. Occupation to me looks like 'expert gilder...but can't read the rest. Would be interested in others thoughts. (In 1851 a Carver (I think!) Journeyman) Cheers Helen |

Is it the 1861 or 1871 that you're looking at. In 1871 his occupation is Carver and Gilder. Kath. x |

In 1861 it says Carver and Gilder employing 2 men and 6 boys. The line under the first word is just a mark made by the enumerator as he was checking off the entries. Kath. x |

Sorry Kath - I updated my message at the last minute. It's 1861 I'm refering to. Having a dizzy moment! (I've just seen the 1871- Carver & Gilder) My mistake - sorry x |

In 1861 I think it says: Carver & Guilder Employing 2 Men & 6 Boys The downward line under Carver is a tick for some other record made by the enumerators checker. Makes Carver look like Expert!! Merry |
