Member Since: February 2004 Posts: 41 Send Message	Hello Everyone I have a relative on the Berkshire 1841 Census in Jesus Hospital, Bray. In the Occupation column there is an entry 'I.S'. She is 14. Any suggestions? Steve

	Hi Steve Probably 'In Service' meaning servant. Debby

	Might be FS - meaning female servant. There is also MS = male servant. Anne
