Could someone with better eyes than me have a look at the 1901 UK Census for Susan Hornby age 48 born in Nottingham, with children Thomas (24), Walter (16), Maud (13) and Albert (11), all born in Alford. I'm trying to read the occupations of Walter and Maud - Walter is .... maker and Maud is .... & servant.

Thanks.

Maud is Domestic Servant

In 1911 Walter is a Basket maker and that could be the same as 1901.

Thanks rootgatherer ... pretty obvious now but I couldn't make head nor tail of it.

Yes, it is an unusual "D"

Just looking again, could Walter be a basket maker?

The second part of your reply re Maud didn't come up until just now so ignore my last question. Thanks rootgatherer.
