Occupation -can anyone read this?
« on: Friday 29 April 05 16:37 BST (UK) »
Hi

Can anyone decipher Horace's occupation on his marriage certificate?  ???

In censuses he is a coach maker and coach wheeler.  He was living in St Pancras, London at the time.

Thanks
Mary  :)

There would be a lot of bent timber in a wheel or coach. I think it was done by heating and then bending. Must have been a skilled job but it looks a bit funny written down :)
Here's one from Bagshaw's 1846 Derby Directory:

Hi
Do you think he would have been an apprentice to learn this ?

Probably. Maybe as something more general first, I don't know to be honest. (see alteration above)

HI It does look like Timber bender or binder when blown up. But could it be bander.
Bandings are plain or patterned strips of veneer used to create decorative borders in furniture making.
