Apologies if I'm doing this the wrong way...

Can you have a look at this 71 census for me please:
Lister Street (milners) Aston, Birmingham
RG10/ 3146 folio 42 page 39

Charles Parish, age 12, born staffs Dudley Port...If any one can make out the occupation I would be most grateful, as his brothers, on previous page have the same, and I cant read that either :lol:

Also, below charles, is what appears to be Benjamin, age 17, ditto for occ, born commonside/Brierley Hill..now its a bit double dutch to me, so confirmation of that would be good, but also it looks to me as if theres something written in the far right column, but I cant make it out :? I have tried enlarging but its not helping.

Thanks all x

I think Charles and Benjamin's occupations are Heaver up in Iron Trade - can't make out what is in the end column

I agree with Heaver up in Iron Trade and also born commonside/Brierley Hill Staffs I think the enumerator ran out of space

I agree with these and I think Mary on the previous page has something like Worcester - Noglon near Evesham,

Anyone know the area who can make a better go at the village?
