I think that his occupation is Etcher, although the enumerators mark is across it, but cannot make out what the second word of his occupation is. Can anyone help decipher it please? Hi I think perhaps he found the work too hard a the Bessemer Steel Factory or got the sack and became an etcher/possible sculptor. However I think the job probably involved work with the Britannia Metal wares which were produced a lot in Sheffield at that time. Sheffield was a big industrial area at that time and apart from many large steel works there was also a thriving trade for many silver smiths. regards JUDY ELKINGTON [W.R.Yorkshire, England] www.elkingtonfamily.com [email protected] www.one-name.org/profiles/elkington.html
