Previously he was a brick maker and somewhere in my memory banks I think a breachesmaker was someone who worked at a brickkiln. I have been unable to find any information except that a breach maker made breaches for guns. I do not believe this to be the case for this person and given Oswestry's connection with brickmaking I am hoping that someone will will able to point me in the right direction.
