In case anyone was wondering:

http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/f.html gives:

Fellowship Porter

A kind of uniformed bonded messenger, vetted for honesty etc before admission to the Guild of Fellowship Porters, to whom they were accountable. You could trust your valuables to them for transport from your London office to another warehouse, shop or office

There's a poor law order of removal entry for

George Rayden age 70 in 1862

Poor law union Bethnal Green

What occupation did yours have?  This one is "fellowship porter"
From that document, his father was James, his Elder sister Mary.

On George's wedding to Mary Rice (1822) the witness are James Rayden and Mary Rayden.  :)
