Occupation Interests / Re: Do you have corkcutter ancestors?
« on: Monday 14 September 20 13:46 BST (UK) »
I have a corkcutter ancestor (born about 1770) who lived and worked in York until sometime between 1807 and 1811 when the family then moved to Doncaster. He carried on working as a corkcutter in Doncaster and stayed there for at least another 20 years. He then moved back to York with his second wife and was recorded on the 1841 census as a corkcutter.
What I would like to know is why a corkcutter would move from York to Doncaster and then back to York. I'm intrigued.
