I know a few Lawyers that I'd like to see with a 'fork' rather than a 'rake'. Laughing out loud!! Bob |

Hi Kay, Well you've just burst my bubble! I thought it was too good to be true! I've had another look at the census page and yep, I can now see that it says 'sawyer' I'm laughing about it now! I'm pleased I put this thread on as I'd rather know the truth. I knew it didn't feel right somehow! Many Thanks Helen |

I have an ancestor whose occupation is 'lawyer' on the 1851 census. However, 10yrs later on the 1861, he's an 'ag lab' I thought this was a bit strange and it's definitely the same person. Has anyone else come across something similar? Regards Helen |
