nz Birth Cert fathers occupation

Thanks everyone.  Helpful info.

The 1931 electoral roll has his occupation as Carrier, although he appears later to have become a Tailor.

Ian C

Ian bet me   The 1928 E/R  also says Carrier, which is a year before the wedding, so that occupation would probably fit.

Hi guys,

I realise you have solved the mystery of the occupation , but I just wanted to say that the "D" is similar to my Dad's upper-case "D". (Dad is a Brit and was born in 1938.)

He writes it like the one shown here:

but with a gap between the top of the initial downstroke and the loop. Not quite as big a gap as in the UP's image, but similar. 

All the best,
Karen
