Hi Everyone, I'm researching my GGG Grandparents Mary Ann Gascoigne ROBERTS nee JEWITT (b 1802 d 1882) and John ROBERTS (b abt 1799 d July 1855). They and their children all appear to all have been born in Sheffield. John was a cutlery manufacturer. I would love to hear from anyone that may have a similar interest. I think that I may have found Mary on the 1871 census (living in Nth Meols) however her occupation is shown as 'Int Money Indian Coupons'. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks Craig Murray in Melbourne, Australia
