Please have a look at certificate #66 and tell me what you can make out of the occupation of the deceased husband, James Parrott. I think he is a carrier of some sort, but cannot make out the word before carrier.

Andrew,

How about Master Mariner?

Look at the M in Margaret.

Thanks Annette. I can now see Master Mariner there. Why could Registrars not have been given typewriters?

All the best,

Andrew,

Looks to me like "Master Carrier". Did such an occupation exist?

Hi Andrew
I think it looks like Master Mariner too. The Ms are very curly which looks strange, but thats what it looks like.

Best wishes
Lesley

Good one, Annette M ... I agree with "Master Mariner."
I have to learn to ignore what others think, and try to interpret what I see, instead. I was concentrating on the 'C' that Andrew suggested, but sometimes the power of suggestion is too strong!

Definately Master Mariner, very florid style of handwriting I must say.
