    3. Hi Cynthia, This sounds like a great addition to PPP ! I'd be happy to add it to my internet pages for Warwickshire As I hope you and others know I don't charge for posting or viewing any of the data on my website, and vow never to profit financially from anything sent to me. see www.hunimex.com/warwick/index.html Looking at the 1891 census occupations, note that there was a railway station there and loads of other potential employers: brickworks, slaugtherhouse, school, engine factory, etc. are all potentials !
