I wondered if the brick wall could be knocked down by lengthening the surname Fulton to Fullerton which is a surname in the Domesday Book.

One of my ancestors worked in Milton slit Mill, which was part of the Dalnottar Iron Works,  making metal tools such as spades, etc..

Ireland had an interest in iron foundries too:   The Irish iron industry transitioned from using local charcoal and iron ore resources to importing cheaper English and Scottish pig iron and coke via its ports.   I found that my ancestors moved for more money in their pay packets.  Presumably working in a foundry would be too much as a man grew older, which could explain why the ancestor went back to the weaving industry.

As he was described as a "husbandman" I doubt he would have travelled far from his family home which was probably a smallholding/farm either as an owner or as a tenant.

When he left school my late OH went to live and work on a farm that raised livestock and his title was "husbandman".

I found this online:-
A husbandman was a farmer or a cultivator of the soil. In medieval and early modern England, it denoted a specific social status: a small landowner or free tenant farmer who ranked below a yeoman but above a serf.

The word's root is not related to the modern sense of "married man," but rather to managing a household and its resources:

Old Norse: hūsbōndi, literally "house-dweller" or "master of the house" (from hūs "house" + bōndi "dweller" or "freeholder").

Middle English: huseband.

Modern English: The term "husbandman" was eventually replaced by "farmer" in common usage during the 18th and 19th centuries. The modern word "husband" (married man) evolved separately from the same hūsbōndi root, as male heads of households were typically married.
In the Bible, "husbandman" is often used metaphorically for a vinedresser or vineyard keeper, with God being described as the ultimate husbandman (e.g., in John 15:1 in older translations).

Husbandman - Oxford Reference
Quick Reference. The old word for a farmer below the rank of yeoman. A husbandman usually held his land by copyhold or leasehold...

The word "husband" originates from the Old Norse word hūsbōndi, which literally meant "master of a house" or "householder".

Everything in war time is secret.  In civilian life my father was an engineer in the manufacture of cranes and dredgers.  Hr was in the Homeguard during WWII and wasn't allowed to say anything about his training or operations, although after the war he told us that if the Germans landed he had to blow up the street where we lived.   This was to keep the enemy occupied looking after civilians.

In those days every cross road had a finger signpost pointing the way to towns and villages.  During the war all the pointers were removed in case Gerry landed he would not be helped by following sign post directions.

I get onto the familysearch.org site first time of trying.

I only type "www.familysearch.org" and there is an automatic add-on which takes me straight to the website

I must say that I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw such a long explanation of the event that you were keen to find.
