Thanks for that he does appear as a Marine dealer on a birth cert so I'm not sure he did have lots of jobs but I can't make any sense of the rest of it apart from height etc  can't read names of ships and what does all that next to it mean? ??? ???

Hi Irret

A marine store dealer was kind of what we now know as a scrap merchant so I guess "Iron Merchant" would make some kind of sense as one and the same thing ...................... "any old iron" and all that

Last ship looks like 'Daedalus' (the guy whose wings melted in mythology?)
