    3. Sara, The British Canoe Union, 45-47, High Street, Addlestone, Weybridge, KT15.1JV will no doubt have a web site and will certainly know the answer to your question.

    1. [WSX] Census Occupation - Bookentrade
    2. Sara White

    3. This is the occupation given for a 25 year old married woman in a small village in 1881. It is unknown to the (concise) Oxford English Dictionary and I don't possess any book on old trades and occupations. Can anyone explain it to me. Many thanks Sara White

    1. [WSX] SMITHS/BEAR INN CIRENCESTER
    2. Ann Sargeant

    3. I wonder if there is some kind and knowledgeable Wsx lister who can tell me anything about the SMITH family who were occupiers of the Bear Inn 24 Dyer Street Cirencester in 1881. I have the Census CD entry showing William Basil SMITH aged 50 as the licensed victualler with wife Sarah Ann. What I am seeking is information about the family connections as I believe they are the key to solving my MUTLOW and SMITH MUTLOW puzzles.

    1. Re: [WSX] Where is the KEW?
    2. Tina

    3. Hello there, As Paul says Kew do not do searches. I can provide the name of a private researcher whose services I have used if anybody wants to know. The researcher in question researched my g-grandfather's army records for me. He charged about £15 per hour and the whole lot, including several photocopies, cost me not much more than £30 about 18 months ago. He said that it wouldn't have takenn him so long but the records weren't in the right place so he searched amongst adjacent records and eventually came across them tucked inside another person's papers.
