Hi List, Any of you clever people ever heard of a 'Glass Gunner'? can't help but think this is a mistake, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong...that is what was written as the occupation of the father of a Bridegroom on a Marriage cert. The father's name was Thomas Younge, the Marriage took place circa 1849 at St. Peters Sheffield ... Thomas Younge's son, the Bridegroom, also a Thos Younge; was listed as occupation 'Roller', which I take to be his occupation in a Rolling Mill. Any help with this greatfully received. Regards, Josephine, Ontario.
Hello Josephine You asked in your email > Any of you clever people ever heard of a 'Glass Gunner'? I couldn't find a Glass Gunner, but I could find a Glass Grinder. Don't know what a glass grinder did though! Regards - Ann Hunt, Oakerthorpe, Derbyshire
Here in Australia a "gun" shearer is the top shearer in all aspects of sheep shearing. Maybe a Glass Gunner is the "Gun Grinder" in a glass factory. Then again - mmmm.
