Occupation Interests / Carpet Beater
« on: Tuesday 11 February 20 07:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello
has anyone any idea what a Carpet Beater was?
The only reference on RC was: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=663428.msg5088580#msg5088580
I found this on the will of James J (Johnson) McKellow died 5.12.1904 South Melbourne Australia. It looks to me on the original and the transcriber at Ancestry as Carpet Beater, this seems to be an "odd" occupation, but then the first powered cleaning machine was so cumbersome it was carried around on a horse-drawn wagon.
