(Herbert and Lydia Irlam)

Herbert Irlam - a ???? labourer - Edit - looked again and I think it may be "agricultural labourer"

I cannot make out Samuel's occupation at all!

In the same house are two other people - Ancestry transcribes their surname as "Hellay" - it looks more like "Hillary" to me :confused:

Also, I cannot make out what it says in the relationship column for the two Hellay/Hillary etc people. Is Lydia L "cousin's wife"? - and Ancestry has Leslie T as "brother-in-law", but it doesn't look like that to me.

Thanks

Joan, yes, it is agricultural labourer (FMP has it as that too).

The surname is Hillary.

The relationship is "Wife's cousin", and then "son to above".

Thank you very much, Elizabeth :) That all makes much more sense than the Ancestry transcripions :d:d
