Cordwainer or translator?

[Bookbox]

To get back to the original question, a Translator was someone who repaired old shoes and sold them second-hand.

I can't provide a reference right now, but this came up on a RootsChat thread a while ago, and I believe the location was also York. Try using the Search function for this site to find the previous thread?
