Cook Sent: 25 July 2007 09:05 To: Bucks Subject: [BKM] Meaning of the word COLLECTIONER Could SKS please tell me about the word COLLECTIONER, Is it just another word for collecters or has it some other meaning I have come across this alot in the Chesham burials of the 1700's. Cheers Maureen Cook Shoalwater Western Australia In response to the above 'Collectioner', meaning someone who receives a small sum from the collection of poor rates - that is, a pauper.
