if someone can look at the 1841 Wales Census for Charlotte Rewell/Reuell
aged 55 with Eliza aged 20 in Monmouth- I can't decipher her occupation.

Dear Marjorie,
Re: HO107/752/2 Folio 14 Page 19 Line 17
Charlotte's occupation looks to me like 'Skinner'.
According to Waters, 2008, a Skinner was a "dealer in pelts, skins and
furs".
