On the 1861 Census Emma WOOD aged 41 living at 74 Sussex Street Poplar with her 9 children under the heading "Rank, Profession or Occupation" it says... Blacksmith Wife, Husband in B------. Can anyone read what the word is please.
Many thanks

It looks like an 's' in it somewhere.....but when I kept looking....could it be 'Husband in Barking' - this being only around 5 miles from Poplar
