LUARRY ? Help needed to identify this job please

[AngelaF67]

I've come across a job I'm not sure about. It says James Rhodes was a LUARRY Man (3rd line down). His previous Job was a a Wool Sorter followed by this strange job and then he was a Wool Comber, so I think it’s a Mill job but I can’t find what it actually is.

I thought Lurry as in another word for Lorry and I even thought Quarry but that doesn’t fit with the jobs throughout his life being in the mill.   

Any help as always will be very much appreciated.

I think I was first taught to write capital Q in this way when I first ventured into the world of “joined-up writing”  (1950s).

I'd also go for Quarryman for James and his son, Aaron.

That “L” is exactly how I was taught to write a capital “Q”. Didn’t understant why then and still don’t now!

Thank you everyone I appreciate all your input. Quarry it is then, although I find it strange that a mill man most of his life would retire a Quarry man.

I guess they had to go where the work was back then.

Have a great week and once again thank you all for your help.

SNAP - one teacher taught us to write a Capital Q as a 2 WITH TAILS ON - JUST LIKE THAT RECORD OF QUARRY MAN ...bizaar - cos no one else taught us to do that

When we were taught copperplate script, we were told that the letters were the shapes they were to speed up the writing.
