Please would someone take a look at the 1871 census for......

Louisa Hill born 1856 Chilvers Coton, Warwickshire.... (With parents Edward and Elizabeth.

I can't make out her occupation.

Something?? Silk.

Its on page 26.......There is an Emma Baddereley on page 28 and a Doley Richardson on page 23 with the same occupation.........but I still can't figure it out!

It looks something like.......Ilvicasterer

Thank you anyone who looks.

Prickles.

Could it be THROWSTERER?

"Throwster one in the textile trade who twisted the strands of fibre together into yarn"

Oooo hello Rose ~~~~~

I thought you had left us.......Good to see you.

I will go and check that out on the other two pages and see if it fits.

I think you could be right Rose.

It doesn't particularly look right for Louisa and Doley...... but it does look more like "Thowsterer" for Emma.

Well done you......thanks very much for your time Rose.

Much appreciated......Prickles. x
