Looking for "BARRASS" I found this family on the 1881 census, in Chester-le-street ! THOMAS BARRAS Head Male 50 South Shields, Durham, England ( Inspector of Nuisances) ELIZABETH BARRAS Wife Female 47 South Shields, Durham, England. (Joiner & Cartwright Employing 1 man and and Two lads) Could this be an occupation for a woman in 1881, or do you think it is a mis-transcription ? Looking for BARRASS, WALKER, CARR and WALMSLEY in the "Washington/Chester-le-street area ! Carole Robinson Member of NDFHS
