Occupation on 1785 baptism record
« on: Tuesday 05 April 16 20:37 BST (UK) »
Can someone please decipher the father's occupation, which seems to continue onto the next line? As a reference for the handwriting, the parish is Bishop's Stortford.

Could it be corn factor? i.e. a dealer in grain.
Best wishes, Judy :-))

I agree.  I was just about to type the same thing.

Ah. Thank you both. That makes sense, as his father was a baker and his father-in-law a miller.
