As I committed the crime of using the reply button instead of the correct address I thought that I would use the proper channels and try again! I have a copy of The Complete A-Z Guide to Early Occupations (a SoG publication), which gives the definition of Framer as follows: A person who made frames for houses. which I think fits in perfectly well with the rural context, and must have been a highly skilled trade.

That sounds interesting. It could easily get interpreted as farmer. I have an ancestor who was said to be a farmer in one record, but showed no evidence of having a farm anywhere else!
