The details are Fanny Turner , aged 65 in 1861 (not 51 as I stated) with daughter Jane aged 20. Lived in Fowey. It is a good clear hand.

It is transcribed as Charor on FreeCen and I think it is proably another way of saying Charwoman.  Fanny is a washerwoman in 1871.  I couldn't find Charor or Churor in any Cornish-English Dictionary.   Regards,   Joy ________________________________ From: Jan Rockett <jan.rockett@ntlworld.com> To: Joy Langdon <joy.langdon@btopenworld.com>; cornish@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, 30 July 2012, 11:08 Subject: Re: [CORNISH] occupation Churor The details are Fanny Turner , aged 65 in 1861 (not 51 as I stated) with daughter Jane aged 20.
