Hi Dave,

Looks like 'Old Body' or could be 'std body'
Not sure what it would mean though.

Thanks Peter.

In other census it has neck ties or neckties or the word 'shirt' added but it remains a puzzle.

Hi Dave,
If you look at this site
http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/hucknall1909/hucknall22.htm
they talk about the Weslyians and the 'old Wesleyan body' so that the reference could be 'old body'

Thanks Peter.

It does look like 'old body' more than anything else.
