Can any one tell me what H L M means on the occupation bit of the census of 1841? It is in Dundonald and everyone else seems to be down as an Agric lab or some derivative but one or two are HLM ( or N)? any ideas?
It's Ok. I have discovered it is HLW as in hand loom weaver !
Unusual Occupation?.....
