Would it be a mispelled occupation??

Hi Joan,

After having another look at it, it could be part of their occupation

Francis George Wilkinson - full Sizer Widower of Blackburn
Ellen Jackson - full Servant Spinster of Salford, Blackburn

There are a couple more entries that have full infront of the occupation
such as full Weaver. Tho i wonder why they are noted as full Maybe they are qualified at that particular job

Thanks Joan:biggrin:

Full age....meaning over 21...sizer maybe?

I think it's full time Gibbo - LOPC has full sizer
(is that where you found it?) and census just sizer.

Wow Gibbo - fast workers your lot :biggrin:

Just realised that in 1851 census Francis George is single and by July 1852 he's remarrying as a widower

It's simple - there is no punctuation.

Full = full age = 21 and over and next one is occupation

sizer = Applied size to cloth in manufacture and next one is status
sizer = Applied the size to cloth or worked in a paper mill

Widower

Well done Dave for full age :biggrin:
Postings reckon the rest of us might never make full age, we're still in the school yard :2fun: :2fun:

Apologies Gibbo, should have known my lady mate would be from a more sedate background

Hi Woody,
Dont believe what Steve said in #13 on here:biggrin: He wouldnt know how to behave even if he tried If we had a naughty corner he would be in there on his own most of the time to. He'd be like a yo yo wally corner to naughty corner etc etc:2fun::2fun:

You're not wrong Gibbo
Bet he was in school detention so often he took his pyjamas in his satchel :2fun: :2fun:

I'll have you know, I only had detention once. And I was innocent, and didn't deserve it.

Just because some lad swallowed a piece of chalk I threw at him, I can't be blamed for him eating in class.
And it cured his indegestion, so I wuz 'fitted up' guvner.

AND.....I bet Woody & Gibbo weren't strangers to detention either. You trouble makers can't be all innocent.
