Hello you lot. Me again. Can someone with Ancestry access have a look at an 1861 census page for me? Search for William Shirley born abt. 1812 in Leicestershire. He's at the bottom. Can you make out what his occupation is? Thanks, Sharon

Sharon It could be COWMAN. Update:- Looking at the other occupations on the page CARMAN look favourite. Victor

I've got to say though, it doesn't look like Leicestershire to me. There doesn't seem to be enough letters
