Can anyone help me. I have a copy of an 1841 census with a boy of 12 years old and in the name column (just under his name) George Lomas there is a little curly arrow and the word 'Ton' HAS ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS- I'm more than willing to email a copy if it helps.

Here's hoping someone can help.
Jon.

Can you just give us his name and area and who is with him?

George Lomas, County of Derby, I THINK it says Hatherage Hamlet of Autreal?? He doesn't have any other family members living with him...living in Upper Hurst (house name?)

Possibly Hamm .... erton
