Could someone look at image on 1871 and tell me the occupation of the head? Dorothy Raine b abt 1804 living at St James Green Thirsk Thanks in advance Debby P.S. And is a governess the same as a schoolmistress? I thought a governess would be in teaching in someones home? |

I think Dorothy's occupation reads Derives income from Houses Land &c Yes I would expect a governess to teach in a private house and a school mistress in a school though I suppose individual enumerators may have had other ideas. |

Sorry Jess should have said I had the 1861. Judith could be right but as her husband was a sacking manufacturer I didn't expect her to have that much money. She was 22 years younger than him though - wonder if her parents were wealthy. Wouldn't mind but it's a real twig of my tree and not hardly related but it's the first musical family I've come up with through Dorothys daughter Mary so I'm really interested. Saddo Debby LOL |

'manufacturer' sounds to me as if he owned the factory rather than being a paid worker so Jess is probably right that the business provided the income, either it was sold and invested in houses or the '&c' in 'Houses Land &c' refers to the factory. Sorry it was only a twig, you could have been an heiress! Judith |

Jess - Didn't see your amended reply - yes that's probably it - doesn't seem to have had any sons so maybe try and find what happened to it! Judith - Oh don't go there! Another branch of this line left about 13 houses and some of them are still there - I have his will - fascinating stuff! Debby |
