Jonesy,
You are correct. The entry I'm interested in is Florence Isabel Butter (actual name Butler, transcribed incorrectly.)
She can be found by searching for her father, George Kendall, age 79, in Glanford Brigg.
Any ideas what an assistant stonekeeper did? Thanks for the help.
Dave

Maureen,

It must be one of these 9 as all have had their occupation transcribed as "Assistant Stonekeeper" in the 1911 census.


KIRKPATRICK JAMES M 1878 33 Hartlepool Durham
TRAPNELL FRED M 1892 19 Cardiff Glamorganshire
BURKETT GEORGE EDWIN THOMAS M 1882 29 Camberwell London
BUTTER FLORENCE ISABEL F 1880 31 Glanford Brigg Lincolnshire
HOLMES GEORGE THOMAS M 1844 67 Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland
RICKETT REUBEN M 1878 33 Lewisham London
TRAPNELL FRED M 1892 19 Cardiff Glamorganshire
ZESSIN GEORGE M 1896 15 West Ham Essex
JOHNSON JOHN JAMES M 1873 38 Gateshead Durham

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

I agree with Jonesey (of course!).
Could you give us his details for 1911,Dave,so that I can look at the original image?

Could it possibly be Assistant Storekeeper?

Can anyone help with this? I have an ancestor whose occupation was listed in 1911 as "assistant stonekeeper." A Google search produces several thousand entries about World of Warcraft, but nothing about the real world.
Anyone heard of this?
Thanks.
Dave
