Title: What Does He Do? *** SOLVED ***
Post by: kevinf2349 on Sunday 22 September 24 01:23 BST (UK)

Hello,

I a struggling to decipher the occupation of the groom in this record. I know he used to be a signalman for the railways but this looks nothing like that. Could somebody decipher it for me?

Thank you in advance

Kevin

Looks like Evangelist to me (lay preacher).

Yes. I agree.
The first letter of the occupation is the same as the first letter in the street name.
