Good Morning Listers Would SKS take a look at the above marriage PR entry at Bolton le Moors St Peter on 21 May 1761 please. The image is available within Manchester marriages on ancestry. I am unable to decipher the occupation of John BUTTERWORTH - it looks like Shoir Man, but what does that mean? The only definition of 'shoir' that I can find is that it is an obsolete version of 'shore' but does that make sense in the Bolton locality? Any other suggestions would be welcome. Many thanks Peter Knott
