Title: Occupation from 1885
Post by: jimnorah on Wednesday 26 February 20 13:23 GMT (UK)

I have attached a section of a marriage record from which I'm unable to make out the middle word of the grooms occupation. I can clearly read Packing and Journeyman but the middle word, other than the end which I believe is 'maker', I can't make out.
Any ideas anyone?

The second word is ‘boxmaker’, the final word is ‘bachelor’.

Many thanks for that - it makes sense now that I look at it again.

First word looks definitely like Packing so perhaps packing box maker and agree could be bachelor
