1 male 26-45 (Peter)

1 female under 10 (Delila)

1 female 16 - 26 (Mary)

(the extra male in the household could have been a relative an apprentice or both, It might have been an apprentice situation because two " manu facturers" are listed. Number "2" is entered or persons in the household who would be classified as manufacturing. Since Peter was a blacksmith, I'm wondering if that would have been a trade under the "Manufacturing"classification.
