Hi Laurine I was going through email and ran across this one of yours and you roused my curiosity Currier was involved with tanning and preparing leather - seemed they dressed and conditioned the leather once it was tanned http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currier A cordinor was a shoemaker http://www.standrewschurch.btinternet.co.uk/cordiner_Trade.htm interesting!!!

Currier 2. Cordinor Had always thought Currier was somthing to do with horses or printing but looked it up so am sharing these definitions with the list: 1. http://www.maybole.org/home/pettit/currier.htm 2.http://www.standrewschurch.btinternet.co.uk/cordiner_Trade.htm Would never have got the second meaning and am wondering if it only applied to Scotland.
