William Taylors occupation in 1871 please?
« on: Sunday 28 June 15 19:37 BST (UK) »
Hi,
my Great x 2 Granddad William Taylor was a Glass Blower, the 1871 census shows him working with glass but not blower... however I can't make it out!

Can anyone help please?

it looks to me that the last four letters are "erer" but I can't think of any occupation except caterer  ;D
and that wouldn't go after glass... stumped!

Thank you Scouseboy :)

Glass  Cutter   or Glass Polisher?

Which town did he live in?   That often  provides a clue.

Was it St Helens?    Where glass was manufactured.

No, Manchester, Newton Heath though he did live briefly in Salford. Every piece of evidence I have (limited I admit) his daughters birth and wedding certificate and my grandmother spent hours with him chatting about his work as a Glass Blower, so this census is definitely him. Cutter is a possibility!

Hi

What about a Gatherer ~ A glassworker who inserted the blow iron into the molten glass ready for the glass blower.
