Hi Sue,

The faint writing after occupation looks to me as "buys to sell"..maybe first word is Agent? Above is "Own" Maybe she was her own agent - self employed?

1891 census sarah frost is a stationer "In her own account" So, she was self-employed at that time.

This is her on the 1891 census and there are no employment details against her unless I have missed something.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for that. I have been thinking today and I will investigate both possibilities at the same time.

I am going to contact a friend who lives in the area and ask what resources she can access.
