    1. [BDF] Occupation of John SUMMERFIELD in 1871 ?
    2. Kevin Poile

    3. Hi Listers, Can somebody have a look at the following census: 1871 - Shillington, Bedfordshire - Household 99 - Reference: Class: RG10; Piece: 1553; Folio: 55; Page: 18 and tell me the occupation of John Summerfield and his son Alfred please? For John I can work out that he is an Engine Driver of some sort but can not work out the word that appears after that. For Alfred I can see that he is a labourer but can not work out what the first word is - but it appears to be the same word as given for his father. Regards Kevin (England)

    3. The word is "Coprolite" You may not wish to investigate further but google gives plenty of details!

    3. Kevin The word is Coprolite colloquially known as dinosaur dung used as a fertilizer.
