I know I had a link to a site with old trades and professions explained - but now I can't find it. I've tried googling, but still can't find out what an Edgetoolmaker was (in the 1700s) - can anybody help? (Does anybody know of a small publication that I can buy that might help with this in the future?) Stephen Smith Researching SKIRROW, SMITH, WOMERSLEY in Bradford and Bingley c 1800
