Yes I think Coachman too.

It could be Cashman but I don't think that is an occupation.
I know it is a surname though   ;D  ;D

Three out of three of us now say coachman. I wonder why I had to send the first message as a personal one? Victor

Are we looking at the box with the circle in it? If so, I agree, Coachman
Or are we looking at occupation of John, the second of the fathers? If so, I think he was a Decorator.

Good question, lizd !!
It doesn't actually show the name of the Coachman on my screen   ;D  ;D

John could be a decorator - certainly the end of the word looks likes that.

Sorry for the confusion, I was looking for John's occupation (Bride's Father). Thanks for your help, I think decorator is correct as I've just found a potential census entry for him and it states his occupation as painter :)
