Title: Billiard Marker
Post by: Skaife on Saturday 23 August 25 18:44 BST (UK)

Billiard Marker - Can anyone tell me - or point me in the right direction to find out - what this occupation involves?
The person in question has registered a death and this occupation is given under his name as the informant. The date, if that is of any help, in 1906
Thanks

Thankyou! Originally,  I had, mistakenly,  read the term as 'billiard maker' and only when revisiting recently saw it said 'billiard marker'.
Appreciate you help
