Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 821 Send Message	Everything I search for turns up a problem!!! Can some kind person check this for me to make sure I'm reading this correctly please? 1901 Census - John Arnold 1868 Bethnal Green, wife Eliza and children John, Harry and Lily. It must be wrong Eliza can't have 19 and 16 year olds, can she??? Also can anyone decipher John's occupation please?

	Don't feel bad, Linda, you weren't the only one misled. The ages were transcribed as 19 and 16. I agree with Julie, the occupation is tinman. I wonder where the scarecrow and the cowardly lion were? Marg
