Thanks both of you. Wonder why John was incapable? Mental health issues, maybe. Sandy

In the 1861 England census for Francis Yates I can't make out the occupation of John Yates, son. It looks like the word 'son' has been written over what could be 'Incapable of ............ business' Also Robert, the entry above John. Is it Merchant CC? If it is, what is CC? Ditto, maybe? The census is RG9 Piece 794 Folio 98 Page 5. If anyone can help I'll be most grateful. Sandy
