« on: Thursday 26 April 07 17:45 BST (UK) »
Hello Folks,,, i'm new here,,,,,,i was told about this Topic while browsing Chat by Karen,,,,Ty Karen, and a very good thread it is to.
My Cork Cutter was my G Grandfather William Gregg b1853 of Oxford St, Stepney, London,
his Father also a William was described in the 1881 census as OCC "Mineral Water", and on another cert as a "Ginger Beer Maker", so there is a reason there why these two should be together maybe in a business together,,,,researching this at the moment.
On the tobacco Question my mother would refer to her cigarettes as cork tipped and i never gave this a thought until i read this thread..... were cigarettes tipped with a cork filter at one time and did cork cutters make them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?
