Patent Turner
« on: Wednesday 03 June 20 22:14 BST (UK) »
Any idea what a Patent Turner was?

From the 1911 census:
Mabel Batstone Daughter Married Female 26 1885 Taunton Somerset Patent Turner
Henry Albert Batstone Son In Law Married Male 37 1874 Taunton Somerset Smiths Striker
 
A Smiths Striker was a blacksmith's assistant who would swing a large sledgehammer in heavy forging operations, so could a Patent Turner be connected to the Blacksmith trade?

On the census page it states that she works at a ‘collar works’
