It's the 1851 census Class: HO107; Piece: 1800; Folio: 399 Page 23

Charles Leggett.

He has his wife, 2 sons and a lodger living with him.

What does it say under the word lodger?

TIA.

Unsure

Does it begin with M?

I have zoomed in and used the magnifier but can't read it. Will have a look on FMP to see if it's clearer.

It looks like "Street" to me, but I'm not quite sure why it would say that there!

By the way, isn't it time you changed your avatar back, Toni?

Would you believe it, the image is missing on FMP. I can get the page before and the page after.

I've reported it.

I can see why you say that Kate, but why?

I reported it too Margaret so hopefully something will happen.

Kate I've thought I should change my avatar back but I'm too lazy.

I can't read it at all but if it says street why would it say that?

Could be Overnight = Onight!

Could be Maggie. It makes more sense to me than street. I have to admit I can't make head or tail of it, even with peoples suggestions.

How about "lodger and man"?

His occupation is carpenter's man, the head of house being the master carpenter with one man.

I wonder if it says Servt? I can't find any servants in the nearby pages to see how it's written!
