Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Occupation

Could it be an approximation to Solderer? (sticking things together with molten metal using a soldering iron)

Allied occupations could be Tinsmith, Whitesmith and such things.

The only pub I'm aware of on Bardy Lane was the Manx Arms, as shown on this OS map of the late 19th century.  I believe it was No.4

Cumberland / Re: Death of Elizabeth Jones nee Garrat Whitehaven 1800s

There was a burial of an Elizabeth JONES (38) on 23 Jan 1829 at St Nicholas.

It's in a spreadsheet I downloaded from some (forgotten) place. :(

I believe this is the block of houses.  I can't see any sign of the shed on a 1947 photo .
