Dancing Masters and Music Teachers
« on: Thursday 14 January 16 17:08 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have information regarding dancing masters and music teachers of the 1800's?  My g,g,g grandfather and indeed his father before him had that occupation.  Both were called John McIntosh.

A dancing master was someone who taught dancing (obviously) and other social etiquettes to young men and women. One of my wife's ancestors was a dancing master, but not in Aberdeenshire.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.
