Just spent 20 delightful minutes trying to make sense of this. I've transcribed it as well as I can decipher.....: 1891 Burnley Ed 62 piece 3371 Fol147 p14 ....? Haggate Mary Leaver Head single 47 Cotton weaver b Briercliffe Joseph Emmott mother s 21 " " beamer " " Alice Ann " " niece s 9 scholar " " Thomas " " mother wid 36 Stone mason " " James " " son s ?? Scholar " " Mary Ellen " " daur s 8 " " b Nelson Annie " " daur s 5 " " b Briercliffe Moses Greenwood Moth in Law Wid 36 Cotton weaver " " Margaret Ann " " daur s 6 Scholar " " Ellen Ann " " daur s 5 Scholar " " John Thomas " " son s 3 " " (It's quite possible I've added to the errors - my eyes were nearly crossed copying it out! Do you think they left the enumerator with a headache? or did he leave them with one? |

I read your mothers (& mother in law) as Brother. The writing is dreadful but I do see Br rather than M. The joys of census...and we wonder why we can't find who we are looking for. What hope do the transcribers have! |

Actually, "brother" was what I'd been hoping to see when I first looked at the image - couldn't manage to see it, though, myself. |
