1871 census - faint image

Post by VALLMO9 »

Several years ago I finally found my direct ancestor in the 1871 census, with incorrect surname. I won't say "mis-transcribed" because the image is so faint it's virtually unreadable online. I flagged up the issue to both Ancestry and FMP, but had no response from either at the time.

Can anyone make out any of the the occupations for this 1871 page? Apparently it's Nightingale Street (now Gateforth Street).
I'm hoping the page will eventually be re-scanned from the original book, and will appear on Ancestry or FMP in the near future. :roll:

The image in the Genealogist is a bit better!
Patrick Welsh is a labourer
Richard Taylor ditto
Rochard Connor - tailor
William Smith - wheelwright
Henry Skinner - possibly a knife maker
Robert Wardle - plasterer
Emily Hooper - laundress

Many thanks, Paul! :D Are you able to work out who Robert Wardle (plasterer) is lodging with? And their address at Nightingale Street?
