Post by: bradelkington on Sunday 20 July 14 19:44 BST (UK)

Hi there this image is from a baptism of my fourth great grandparents Benjamin and Susannah peake, its of their first child Thomas in 1813, I can see the last two words are by trade but what is the first word? After this all the other baptisms of his children say a brickmaker , I know he was a primitive Methodist preacher too, regards Dave
