I'd like to follow up on a Halifax 1901 census "diver". Any ideas on how to begin? Who might employ one for example? I don't suppose there's another meaning for "diver" related to mill work or the like? I doubt it means divers(e) employment. Your ideas appreciated, nrg.

Norman Could it be "driver"?......
