Carpenter or Cartwright

[Hampshire Lass]

I'm having a lot of difficulty on tying a family together in the early 1800s.

On the parents marriage record in 1813, if indeed it is the right one, the husband is said to be a Carpenter.

On the baptism record of 2 possible children, in 1814 and 1817, he is said to be a Cartwright.

I know this sounds a silly question but would a Carpenter and Cartwright be different professions?
I know they both involve wood but in my brain they are different professions and yet these children seem the most likely.

As usual there are more than one family in the village with the same name at the same time and this is rather a difficult one to untangle, so I would appreciate information about these professions.

A cartwright made wagons and carts so perhaps a bit more specialised than a carpenter.  However,  he would clearly have had to have carpentry skills as no doubt the wagons and carts were made of wood

Thanks Carole. Just found a likely 1841 census record where he's a Joiner so I guess they are all related occupations.

 Would be better if he'd stuck to the same job description though.
