Siobahn, on the original document, have you checked where the age is entered. There is a column for male and female. |

no didn't think of that, FREEBMD isn't complete though, so wouldn't be able to fully confirm. I have overspent this month already, so cannot check on 1837online. will check freebmd though thanks for the tip. |

Thats what I thought You see i was looking for James F Mansfield in the 1891 census and there isn't one. But there is a Janet F Mansfield who is the right age on the original document it does look like Janet as well, but the occupation is a draughtsman. I have a feeling this is possibly my James, if it is he isn't with his parents so I don't know how to confirm it is him. |

Hi Siobhan I would say it was highly unlikely. Women were respected for their drawing ability, but draughtsmen were employed in the highly masculine world of Architects' and Engineers' offices. Regards Stan |

iN 1891 would it be likely for a woman to be a draughtsman. |
