Find Ancestors

I think maintained by father in India is correct! :-) :-)

I thought it might be something like

....? lace ...? maker

I wonder if FMP has a better image?

Thanks Jude have now found it

Quoy - Elsom not Elsam (as psosted - got this off A)

Rootgatherer - I'll go by that but it is a VERY feint image!

odd I cannot find the 1891 Census on Ancestry
