If anyone has access to the 1841 census on CD or online or otherwise, I would appreciate advice on a particular entry. I am looking at Bowden Magna on page 11 of enumeration district 4. There it lists William and Elizabeth Cort and their five small children. William is 25, Elizabeth is 30. But I cannot read Wiliam's occupation. It looks like "Trunk m". Any suggestions ?

I agree, it's 'Trunk m[aker]'. I tried checking in 1851, but then he was a Brick maker.

Donald, Yes, definitely 'Trunk m' for me - Trunk Maker, and born in the county.

Donald, I cannot agree with the "Pam...Sydney" answer, it certainly appears to be "Trunk M" and not "Coal Dealer" and it is stated that he was born in the county.

Hello Donald, I had the opportunity to enlarge the census and it stated William Cort was a Coal Dealer and was born out of the County.

Hello Donald, Apologies for my email ,I sent you the wrong William Cort, after doing another search this time on Ancestry.com and with a clearer reading it looks like you are right, I read it as a Trunk. m, meaning he made trunks.
