Have found relatives on 1871 and it mentions that the father was a servant in a house (with lots of other servants) and his wife and children were there too but down as 'wife to wosker' 'son to wosker' etc. What is a a wosker?? Anyone know? |

Are you sure it doesn't say 'worker'? What is the name and census date, so we can check? Kath. x |
