I can't begin to tell you how reassuring it is that you're all finding it as difficult to construe as I am ...

Ooooooh ... that makes sense!

The Burrows and Gooding families are closely interlinked (Hannah Burrows was born a Gooding, and I am presuming that Harriett is her younger sister); Joseph's brother John lived in Coggeshall, and Hannah Burrows nee Gooding was born in Coggeshall. Coggeshall was a centre of the silk / lace industry, and I have Burrows girls in Coggeshall listed as "lace worker" at ages as tender as 11 in later censuses.

So it all fits. I'll go with Tambour Worker.

You guys are MAGNIFICENT, and I love each and every one of you!!!
