Another coal dealer married a greengrocer's daughter in the 1960s. She was still a greengrocer after marriage and he was still a coal merchant so you could almost say that their combined occupations were coal dealer and greengrocer. Do you think that your coal dealer's wife may have been a baker? Yet another contemporary combined occupation is garage mechanic and milk delivery person - husband garage mechanic, wife milk deliverer. Husband sometimes helped collect the money from milk customers.
