Not your fault, Sarah. It's a glitch on the site.

I am really sorry, I have tried clicking on it again, but nothing. Im sorry

Ann, I read on another thread that you can no longer remove the "answered" by clicking on it again. Not sure if this is true.

you can remove the "answered" by clicking on it again Sarah

Penny is right, go back one generation at a time, getting certs as you go.

you will very easily go off track unless you create a paper trail of certificates as you go.

So, William's father's sisters, not Williams.

In 1841, Elizabeth is female servant. The head of the household is a Maltster and his wife is a Straw Hat Maker (I am assuming his wife but relationships are not given on the 1841 so she could be some other relation)

Oh thank you Kath, I thought I was getting it all wrong then! Thank you for that information, I could not work it out at all!

I wonder if I have gone off track and am looking at another family?

The occupation for Elizabeth and Grace is F.S. = Female Servant.

I was confused as I thought you meant sisters of William born 1882.

It looks like Grace was a servant in the household of a surgeon.

The only sister I can find for William is the Edith in the censuses above.

Hello Kath, the census year is 1841 and I cannot decipher either of the girls occupation. First one is called Elizabeth Patt born 1826 in Torrington living in South Street and the second is called Grace Patt born 1822 also living in South Street.

Sarah, can you try to remove the Answered tick as people will think that you don't want any more help. If you can't remove it, can you add to the title something like "help still wanted"?

Which census year are you looking at where you can't decipher the occupation and what are their first names?

Great thank you so much

If you look for Edith's birth and get the cert, it will give you Elizabeth's maiden name. You can then look for her marriage to John.
