What on Earth!!

Some new puzzlers from our friends at Ancestry.
Found these while searching. Fortunately not my lot.
These are Occupations listed on a Scottish Census return for two in the household.
Knod Sconer
Starah Worker
Maybe we should have a forum for the weirdest transcripts

Hi Momat
The mind boggles as to what the true occuaptions are!! Great examples of why you should always view the original where possible - otherwise you might be away off for hours on searches for seemingly obscure occupations whcih turn out to be a load of nonsense too!!

Best wishes

Hello Maureen & Lesley,

I reckon the second one would be Starch Worker http://books.google.com.au/books?id=YJB ... CCwQ6AEwAA

Maybe the second word in the first one could be Seamer http://books.google.com.au/books?ei=Kex ... rch_anchor

No idea really,

I would agree that knodding scones is something that happens regularly in our household, and

Starah Worker
