Occupation: Burler

     

Elizabeth Warburton, wife, age 23, Burler

1851 UK Census: Wiltshire > Trowbridge > District 2k 

Burler or Spiler
Burling was women’s work. Any small pieces of vegetable matter (called spile) still left in the cloth were removed by hand. Women used burling irons which looked like small tweezers, to get rid of spile. Loose threads were also removed but that was generally done after fulling. By the 18th century, Master Burlers supervised the operation and paid women to do the work.

North Wiltshire Online Census Project

 UK 19th century census returns are being transcribed in order to create an online "free-for-view" searchable database. 

Current searchable years include 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, and 1891.

This is part of an ongoing initiative to make records of relevance to UK genealogy freely available online. 

By using the 'find' box that appears with the command key Ctrl+F you can do keyword / surnames searches on the site.  I entered just the first part of Warburton and was able to locate our ancestor John H. Warburton with his family in the 1871 census:

as well as his father, James, a widower, aged 72:
