If you Google Knaresdale you will see a reference to "Old Maps" - this takes you to a link of an old map of Knaresdale where there is a plot next to the Rectory called Loaningside. This is probably the place in the census. http://www.old-maps.co.uk/servlets/DirectMap2?easting=367800&northing=554000 &county=10nor261 Hope this helps Ruth -----Original Message----- From: dur-nbl-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dur-nbl-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of car9tr@netzero.net Sent: 19 April 2007 14:46 To: dur-nbl@rootsweb.com Subject: [DUR-NBL] 1841 Census While searching for my g-g-grandmother, Sarah Vipond, I came across a listing on an 1841 census for Knarsdale. I am having trouble understanding the entry. There is a list of apparently unrelated people with what appears to be the word "farming" for the place. The occupation is also unclear. If anyone has time and is able to access the census in question, could you take a look at the page and decipher it for me. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Carol, I had a look at the image, and I thought it said something like "Loaning". Coupled with what Ruth found below, I think that's your answer as to location. I think the occupation is F.S. - i.e. Female Servant.
