HO107/1263/6/31/14



Transcribed as Jon (should be John) Warrener, 55, dob c1786, living in Kirby Moorside.



In subsequent censuses he is a farmer.

Hi John..



looks like Sawyer to me... D

Sawyer to me too

Sawyer to me too.

That was very quick! Thanks very much Raven & Light. It could well be couldn't it! I was trying to link his 1841 occupation in with something to do with farming. He is a farmer of 63 acres in the next census.





Many thanks to you too NOTEBOOK.

definition of a Sawyer...



Sawyer Timber mill/pit worker, sawing timber

Thanks Raven, I'll have to try and see if I can find any more references in that direction now.

Had a thought John .



Could he have been a Sawyer at that time, clearing the area where he would eventually farm??

I guess it's possible. Difficult for me to investigate from here though. I've put it down in me book as something to look into next time I visit little old England.
