This contains details of my ancestor who had retired as an excise officer. Perhaps you'll find something about yours in here too.

I found this through the google books site, and simply searched for "fradsham + excise" (Fradsham being the relevant surname for me, of course!) There may be other editions of similar books on googlebooks if your ancestors isn't mentioned in this one.

I think I do not really understand what an excise man did - so would be grateful if someone could enlighten me - or at least point me at some reading material? How were they recruited, and did they move around much
