Hi all, I have been lurking on this list for quite sometime but this is the first time I have posted. I am hoping SKS can help me with the occupation or what is written there for Leonard T Searles of Morgan St. Unfortunately I can't make any sense of it at all. The details are: HO107; Piece: 1547; Folio: 235; Page: 55 Any help at all would be most welcome. Kind Regards Sue Western Australia

Can I double check this please? I believed that a serviceman on Half Pay was and active and available Serviceman for whom there was no opening. For example after the Napoleonic War had finished, the size of our forces was dramatically reduced and those who might be needed in the event of another crisis were put on Half Pay. A pensioner means to me an individual who has completed their working period Michael -----Original Message----- From: middlesex_county_uk-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:middlesex_county_uk-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Nivard Ovington Sent: 26 August 2010 13:22 To: middlesex_county_uk@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDX] SEARLES - 1851 Census occupation help required.
