Silk Pluss Weaver?
« on: Wednesday 11 December 19 11:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am adding my THELWELL family to the tree today and found this occupation which I am having trouble reading firstly, but also searches on Google are not bringing up any useful or relevant information.  Has anyone come across it before and can point in the right direction?

It is the third occupation down.

Although it reads 'pluss' I think it's actually most likely to be 'silk plush' much used in the manufacture of top hats.

Arr thanks Jen, that explains why Google wasn't coming up with anything for silk plus!
