Thanks Nivard, I omitted to say the entry is dated 1843. That's what made me wonder what the significance is for 'junior' in that particular occupation at his age. To date this is the only reference I have found for his occupation, everything else just say 'Gentleman' so am trying to work out where his income came from. I cannot find any record of him in the 'Chelsea Pensioners' or in any military/navy records. He married in 1817 in Westminster, his children successful in commerce. I also have the 1845 Post Office Directory entry but thanks anyway. Regards Rose.

"Junior" would have referred to his employment level, not his age. He had yet to be promoted to "Senior" -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
