Do you know the occupation of Thomas? Could he have been a Chemist and druggist aged 55?

thats interesting thanks. he had a daughter in 1855/6. when this daughter married in the 1870's he was classed as a commercial traveller. now I have no idead what this role could be but ive never been able to locate a chap of this name, role with a daughter called elizabeth born abt 1855.
the one you posted am i correct in saying it states married but with no wife with him?

thanks

Hi Mark

From my experience, the term Commercial Traveller often implied the person was a minister/preacher of some kind, most likely part of the methodist faith.

Hope this helps
