Could I please ask for some kind person to do a look up of the census at Shepton Beauchamp. I think that Benjamin died in the late 1840's Benjamin b c 1792 and Susannah c b 1797 but Susan lived untill 1871.

Thank you for this lookup. Would any body have the 1871 census that could look to see who Susannah was living with, she died in October 1871 and is buried in Shepton Beauchamp.

I had huge trouble with the occupation - can't THINK what it could be!! The only possibility I could imagine was outdoor hosier, but someone else cleverer than me could possibly decipher it.

Sorry, forgot to take note of the references for someone else to look.

So it's not just me! I couldn't make anything in English out of the occupation either. This best I can do is RuAdaruHoufers. Not a common occupation in my neck of the woods, but maybe there are dozens of them in Somerset!

The reference is RG10/2402 folio 38 page 20 schedule 88. The odd thing is that the writing is fairly clear. Maybe the enumerator had a bit too much cider.
