      From: G6JPG-255@255soft.uk              1901 census: Class: RG13; Piece: 4835; Folio: 112; Page: 36       (search for Jane Weightman in Ashington).       ...       Jane Weightman 65       Robert " 33 Coal Hewer Miner       George " 19 Rolleywayman Miner       Isabella Sanderson 23       William " 26 Blacksmith Striker       Modderina " 10mo              I _think_ the final word in the occupations was written in a different       hand, or perhaps by the same hand but on a different occasion.              I'm wondering: is Striker likely to be a modification of Blacksmith (I       know little of smithing), or is it likely to be recording that he was       (presumably his smithing being part of the coal mine) on strike?       --       J.
