Hi,
I've located a family member on the 1911 census but the occupation seems a bit strange to me.
Its been transcribed as "SEWING ON MILKROUND" and the original image does look like that too, although it could possibly be something else?
Does anyone know what that would actually mean if it is correct?
I appreciate any help.
If anyone wants to see the original 1911 image it is for a George White born 1894 Woodford Green.

Thanks :-)
