Weymouth 1901

[Archie's Mum]

Emily Rickerby? Emily Richarby? Emily A?

FMP have it a Rulicady - she is the ony one on all the census 1841 - 1921with that surname

I do think it starts Ru but whether the next letter is a b, l or an h I cannot tell.
I am pretty certain that there are no letter i in the word, as the enumerator seems very diligent in putting in the dot over the letter.
Nothing really makes a 'name' Ruhcady, Ruheady,
I do think the middle initial is A, a bit squashed.

I have it as Rulicady also, not that I am happy with that I also decided the initial was an A. I think I will leave it as that for now. Maybe I will have a brainwave and figure it out later. This enumerator has quite clear handwriting usually so he must have been trying to interpret some bad efforts

Thank you

Picked up my transcribing after a lengthy break.

What is the occupation here? 3rd ????? Royal Navy. I'm tempted to put 'writer' but not sure that makes sense

 

[MollyMay]

Writer is what FMP have it transcribed as, and the word does look like writer

 

[Daft Bat]

In the 1911 census his occupation is recorded as "First Writer Accountant Branch" for the Royal Navy, so yes - writer looks to be what it is.

 

[AnnB]

It is Writer - apparently he would have been something to do with sorting out the crew’s pay and other administrative things

Thank you , and I thought I was losing it
