    3. << I don't think that "team" refers to the people employed by a team owner, but simply to the animals. >> Graham - point taken. I should have been more careful with my wording. I had in my mind the Jones family's 1891 Census entry which notes that Henry's two older sons are listed as Horse Drivers. So I imagined that he had at least two, and possibly several more, horses in his stable. (A funeral director ancestor of mine had 40!) I simply saw men and horses working together as a team - unlike todays Self-Drive Van hirings - and not that the men (drivers) were owned. Slip of the pen really - sorry. Ruth
