Oh, Great Live Journal Mind....
I got some CDs via E-Bay recently to help with Genealogy, as they have some information similar to Census for various years ranging from 1793 - 1895
In going through them, I’ve found that I need to remember that, in those days, they used f as s, which makes things somewhat confusing :-/
I’ve also found a few things that I needed to utilise Google for to help me work out whether what I’m seeing there is/was an actual word, or merely a spelling mistake at the time of printing
That said, I’ve found something that, so far, Google doesn’t seem to be able to help with….
In one particular section (so far, anyway), that for Holywell in the 1793-98 one, there are a number of people with (F.) after their names
I’ve seen this with male and female, so it’s not indicative of that, and I’ve seen it with Gentry, Attorneys, and Trades people, so it’s not indicative of occupation either
For example….
In the Gentry section, we have:
Edwards Thomas, Gent. (F.)
And, a couple of other examples….
Humphreys Hugh, Esq. (F.) Attorney
Bramwell William, (F.) Victualler, Maltster, and Tanner
Any thoughts as to what the (F.) might be for?
