Another census transcription please?

Post by LittleMissP » 27 Sep 2007 02:24

Hope I'm not being too cheeky in asking you to have a look at another census entry I can't understand- this time it isn't faint, I just can't figure it out.

Obviously I can read boot maker, but what are the next two? The next looks like knoter or laster? And the one after that folder borks? Help! I've had a look at the old occupations list that was posted on this site before, but I'm still flummoxed.

Thank you!

With regard to 'Laster / Knoter' - as father is a Boot Maker, could this be something to do with making shoe-lasts? Just a thought.

Have no ideas about the other one.

Good Luck.

I would think 'folder books' - ie 'book folder' for the two younger lads - that was a job in printing.

Hi,
Some ideas:
I read the first as Laster, which was a job in shoes. You might find the following link interesting:

The second could be Folder Books, so maybe to do with making books?? -(Just an idea).
Hope that helps.
