Thank you Marmalady for your comment. Would a Coachman buy a newspaper!? Best wishes, Carlos
I have an 18th century coachman in my famiiy. The coachman worked in London and his bride was born nearly 200 miles away. They married in London and their first child was born in the bride's home town hundreds of miles away and on the baptism record there is a note stating the father's occupation and abode. They met in the late 1700s because her employer owned two houses, one house was in the country and one was in London. It is not unusual for rich people to own several homes, which are usually situated in the places where they have a commercial interest - for example the man might own a couple of factories producing clothing - cotton and woollen clothing need different types of water, thus he might open up a factory in an area where there is soft water for woollens. Quite often some of those houses are closed most of the year and the employer will send some servants to clean the place before his family take up residence.
