Occupation for George Blacker please....
« on: Thursday 18 January 18 18:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Could anyone please tell me what the occupation of George Blacker is.  It looks like something Barman/Carman.  First word looks like Laundry but I don't see how that would fit with Barman/Carman.

Thanks, Diana

Laundry carman. As lizdb says, he probably collected and delivered for the laundry.
