I don't know about an 'interesting occupation - but one of my female relatives was described on her marriage certificate as an 'Engineer's Screwer' - ahem ! not a term you could use today !!

Do you know if the family originates from the Wigan Bolton area?

I will ask him when I see him tomorrow.  I believe he and his family have lived many years in the Colchester area though.  He is a solicitor and district judge, but a very nice chap, nevertheless!  8)
