Can anyone double check this occupation in 1841 please?
James Simper aged 45, wife Mary same age.
Lower part of first column. Occupation looks like Lurcher. I thought that was a dog. Googled and all it came up with was dogs. In 1851 he is an Underkeeper (Wood) HO107; Piece 1167; Folio: 8; Page: 9 http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?...=&pid=11236304

Well it looks like 'lurcher' to me! The 'L' at the beginning is the same shape as the 'L' in Ag Lab, albeit a bit shorter, and there's a turned 'r' in the middle.
I can't find it on the site I use for checking old occupations: http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/index.html Hope someone knows the answer!
