Mistranscribed, but in 1881 William E has changed his occupation to Butcher like his father, and also moved into the address father William was living at in 1871, namely 48 Hall Lane, so looks like he took over his father's business and his home.


Census 1881:

Address: 48, Hall Lane, Bowling County: Yorkshire (West riding)

LEWTH, William E Head Married M 38 1843 Butcher Bradford, Yorkshire

LEWTH, Ellen E Daughter Single F 9 1872 Scholar Bradford, Yorkshire
LEWTH, Mercy E Daughter Single F 5 1876 Scholar Bradford, Yorkshire

Thank you so much Kucinta, Your finds are amazing! Quite a bit we have found over the years but my mother was very reticent (skimpy) about her past and, unfortunately had already died before we started our in depth research.


Thanks for the snippet Marie Celeste
