In all probability a travelling blacksmith or even a simple travelling tinsmith. Someone who would carry with him the tools of his trade. I suspect not a Blacksmith as that would have been more clearly stated  8)
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.
