I am trying to read an image.1841 census. The page seems almost blank. My printer/scanner has packed up. Great Faringdon Berks, 10107/18/2 Folio 19 P.32. David Walker what is occ.? what is address. What is the name of man transcribed as Richard Whitenack. Anyone who can help will be my greatest friend. Many thanks Sylvia.

Looks like shoe maker to me Roy

Address: Worlds End Richard Whiteway/Whitway

My goodness, it's almost impossible to read. It looks more like Whiteway to me. Kath. x

Address = World's End Occupation Shoe maker Can't make out the name though. Could be Whidway but it really looks as if it ends ..gh. No on a second look the last up stoke is part of the age so I think it ends ...way Anne

Well Im desperate to have a friend, but its a really hard one. Wild guess - thought that the occupation looks like Iron worker or even Shoemaker - but he is surrounded by ag labs? Richard, well gawd knows, possibly Williams?

address looks like Wolds End had another look it is worlds end Roy

I think the line that makes it look like an 'h' at then end of the name, is actually part of the '4' in 40. I agree with the World's End for address and shoemaker for occupation for David. Kath. x

Sorry Kath, I updated and got out of turn!!! Anne

Sylvia I think David's occupation is shoe maker. His age seems to be either 25 or 35 on census. I can't find the other chap though. Dianne xx

That's o.k. Anne, I think we'll all be squinting before long with images like this one. Kath. x

A million thanks everyone. I dont know how you read it. I couldnt even find them on the pages. Whiteway is what I was hoping for, I think he is wifes brother my 3xgt.grandad. Sylvia. PS If I went to PRO would I see this image more clearly on microfiche?

Dianne The other chap is five down from David. Kath. x

Well, now you have said Whiteway ..............yes, I can see it as that!

Hallo Address is definitely Worlds End. As to the rest, I can only suggest you try finding them in other records! nell

Probably not Sylvia. I'm sure Ancestry has copied it the best they can. Kath. x

Blimey, I've just been squinting & couldn't even find David (let alone Richard) but it does say 'Worlds End' Then I came back here to tell you & everyone's already done it, Well, it's just as well 'cos they saw more than I !!! Sarah :-)
