G'day Everyone, While scrolling through the 1891 census around the Shelf area on the disks I came across a couple of entries which I thought unusual and the first one made me laugh just a little. Edward Shackleton age 56, his occupation stated as 'Nothing in Particular' and another was James Mitchell age 33 occupation Casket Sizer. If anyone is interested James was living with his sisters Mary A age 35 and Agatha age 31. Kind regards Lori Mitchell

He MUST have been a distant relative of mine !!!
