Help with Translating/Interpreting Handwriting.

Hi, Could anyone help me read what pretty much all of this says:


It's from a marriage entry in a parish record from 1870's. If anyone could help make sense of the occupations (the one directly above a big hyphen, and then the last two boxes on top of each other at the far right.)

Thanks to anyone who can help.

On my own I can come up with absolutely nothing, so I'm going with what you say

As a footnote - didn't know blinds had been invented then; or am I being really stupid?!

Forgot to say thanks

Hi Ryan,

I don't think it would be venecian nor Austrian blinds.:biggrin:

Could be shop blinds/canopies or wooden blinds.

I suppose they would be. I'll have to do some research into it.

I think they did have wooden blinds that fitted Victorian sash windows on the inside.
