Many thanks for the suggestions that people have made. Unfortunately, I don't have a computer image available or I would happily upload one! There is no doubting that the first letter is a 'V' and the second a 'T'. I have checked this against other instances of the same letters appearing in the same enumerators handwriting. The only slight query is over the middle letter, but '&' seems most likely. I am tempted by the suggestion that it may refer to 'Visitor' and 'Traveller' or the like, as this would also tie in with family hearsay. It would also seem logical - if they did not know where they were from, who is to say whether they were born in the same county or not. Unfortunately, the occupation is the ever abundant 'Ag Lab' which doesn't help much. Anyway, in the absence of any firm answer I shall keep an open mind! --------------------------------- To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo! Security Centre.
