Hello, My Edward John (Percy) FULLER was a warehouseman much of his short life, appearing variously on census records as "Warehouseman", "Cotton Warehouseman", and "Manchester Warehouseman." He's found in Rotherhithe in 1871 and 1881, and Greenwich in 1891, and in Camberwell in 1901, and doesn't appear to have ever been to Manchester. I know Manchester was the hotbed of the cotton industry in England, so when he says he's a Manchester Warehouseman, would that mean he works for a warehouse that stores cotton coming in off ships but which is eventually bound for Manchester? Wouldn't Manchester's cotton industry have used a closer port than London?Perhaps it was a warehouse owned by a company called Manchester? Or was the word Manchester just synonymous at the time with cotton? Thanks for any thoughts, Tracy in Ontario, Canada.
