The Common Room / Musician as occupation??
« on: Thursday 21 January 10 11:43 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
A marriage certificate of my ancestor William Richard Cobbin lists his occupation as "Musician".
How could I find more information about this? What on earth constitutes a musician as an occupation back in 1854?
For the record he married Hannah Robinson Swift on 1854 in Adelaide at the age of 19.
Does anyone have any ideas please?
Thank you!
