Member Since: October 2005 Posts: 84 Send Message	I am researching my Bugbud family tree & in the 1851 census on ancestry, Maria Bugbud,born about 1783 in Surrey,is recorded as 'pauper - widow of a _____' and then I can't read the last word. If anyone has access to Ancestry could they please have a look for me & see if they can decipher or make a guess as to what the word is. Regards Coreen
