Did he work at the same occupation after his release?

This i am yet to discover.  Its hard work delving into some family history.  so many gaps.

just discovered that at the age of 52 Josephs occupation was listed as Brass moulder...so it seems he has perservered with metal work thru his life.

Thankyou everyone.  i am a lot clearer now and you hve given me ideas on where to look.  novice at all of this.  sometimes the apple dont fall far from the tree.  Now i know why i like engraving and metal work.  THE FILM IS AMAZING.   Apparently in January of 1844 my relative stole silver dust and filings from his employer and went down for 6 months.  He seemed to have recovered when he got out as he went on to get married and have like 7 kids.

hi all, new here.  Can anyone enlighten me as to what kind of work a silver chaser did in mid 1800's london?  I am aware the chaser did a kind of engraving or embossing on silverware but i wonder if there is any explanation on the process and any photos of finished work?  My 3rd great grandfather was employed as one and just trying to gain an understanding.  cheers..kelly.
