Hallo
My G/Grandfather was a corkcutter in the Bethnal Green area
He was William Watts Born circa 1820
My 1st Sighting of him as a corkcutter was his marriage cert
11th Mar 1844, of full age living at, Cumberland St Shoreditch
He was on the 1851, 1861, 1871 census at 31 Barnsley Street, Bethnal Green. with his wife and family, although on the '71 census he had remarried.In the 1881 census he in the Whitechapel Union Workhouse.
His son William was also a corkcutter but is shown on the 1901 census as a cockcutter
