Hi Michelle I quote from the directions given to enumerators for the 1841 census Time may be saved by writing the following words, shortly thus, "M".for Manufacturer, "m" for Maker, as "Shoe m" for Shoemaker, "CL" for Clerk, "Ag lab" for Agricultural labourer, which may include all farming servants and labourers in husbandry. Use no other marks or abbreviations but those herein allowed.
