Ann Wootton age 10 in 1841. Is on the census with family in West Bromwich, Staffs Piece: H0107/977 Book:8 Folio:39 Page:7 The image is so faint i cant even make out the names, let alone any occupations or anything. Does anyone have any image enhancing gizmo's or just incredibly good eyes, if so can you make out any occupations ?
