I may have found my elusive Charles E. Wood. 1920 census a Charles is singe, lodger, occupation is pipe fitter at ship yard. 1930 census a Charles is married 7 years to Ethel. Occupation "Beamer". It also states he had been in the military, which is possibly why I do not find him in the WW1 registrations. 1931 death certificate states he was a teamster. My question: what is a "Beamer". Does it relate to the pipe fitter and teamster? I did goggle this, but no results. Thank you, Jane
