Hi,

Anyone able to make out what it says for Profession next to my ancestor William Toy?

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx ... id=9540386

Also, is that Green Hill where he resides?

Also while I'm on the subject - some of the houses don't have numbers. Like this:

Or are the numbers in the first col? Because the title of the column say No. Of Householders.

If this is the right one he was a Nailmaker in 1861,

1861. Brock Street, Hill, Halesowen.
TOY,William,,head,M,M,41,,Nail Maker,,,WOR,Hill.
TOY,Eliza,,wife,M,F,35,,Nail Maker,,,WOR,Hill.
TOY,William,,son,,M,14,,Nail Maker,,,WOR,Hill.
TOY,Thomas,,son,,M,12,,Nail Maker,,,WOR,Ridgeacre.
TOY,Jane,,dau,,F,9,,Scholar,,,WOR,Cakemore.
TOY,Edwin,,son,,M,11m,,,,,WOR,Hill.

1851 he was a Nail forger.

Ok, I see.

Just couldn't make out the letters.
