Marleywoman

[Lakeslass]

This occupation (of a woman) has turned up in my family tree research. Can anyone tell me what a Marleywoman did?

[dzug]

Could it be marketwoman badly written?

[Lakeslass]

Perhaps so, dzrug. I'll have a closer look next time. Some of the writing on the old census forms was beautiful and some of it was dreadful.

[Lakeslass]

Sorry dzug. Didn't mean to give you a spare "r"

Let me have the name. birth year, birth place and census year and I will look on the census tonight for you to check

[Lakeslass]

dml54 Thankyou for the offer. I can't believe how kind everyone is and how much trouble they are prepared to go to. However, I haven't got my stuff here, so will get back to you in a day or two all being well.

Many thanks

Eileen
