Not sure about Fisherman, Oldtimer, but thank you. Looks more like Tinderman (whatever that is!). Thanks Carol

Not sure but isn't a Tinder box to do with making fire?

I'm sure someone clever (Like Stan) might come along and explain it to us.

I'll try and  find the page with the occupations on.

Thanks Carol. Snaphappy, Possible but all the rest of relations seem to be Agr Lab's. But all this gives me something to go on so I can find him.

There was a James KNIGHT 55 Fisherman, Hambledon living in Portsea in 1851.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.
