Hi Juliet, I've had a look at the image on FMP. I thought at first it said "Master Boatman", but on closer inspection and comparison with other names on the page, I think the top word begins with H. I have no idea what it could be, but the two words are bracketed together, so it's one title. It's then crossed out, indicating that it might be an error on the part of the enumerator. I wonder if it concerned her husband rather than Ann herself? Hope this helps.

I would say it is Master Boatman, but as said before it is crossed out as an error has been made Vanessa    All records are subject to error. Let they without typo caste tea thirst scone!
