Hello all,
Photobucket rejected me as unsuitable

so I have uploaded a census to this site:
http://tinypic.com/r/jj5qfb/6
My question is, what are the occupations of Frank C Grey and his brother Herbert on this 1901 English census? I'm not making any sense of them...
Thanks for ideas,
Sarah

Hello Sarah,

unsuitable!
I read them as "Gas Fitters Mate" and "Porter in Grocers" but the more I look the less I see!
Best wishes,
Meg
Main family lines are Harpers from Midlothian, Fife & Kinross-shire, and Dobies/Dobbies from Midlothian. Also Strathearn, Stobie, Layden and Downie.

Hi Sarah,
I agree with Meg's two decipherings. I had to switch to the Raw Image, then magify it to 400% to be sure (as I can be).
All the best,
AndrewP

Well

That does make more sense than
Gall Hesters Mate and
Bouthr in Gween that I was seeing

Thanks, Meg and Andrew! I think I must be getting tired
Regards,
Sarah

I just tried to sign up and it said

not you!

Something about me not being eligible
Jean, I'm not sure which part of my nefarious past they object to! Perhaps it's my fascination with dead people...

maybe it's the image of kicking the (photo) bucket that has them worried
Sarah, the pariah
