What is this Occupation? *** COMPLETED ***

[Chiad Fhear]

Seaoras ... I think you've cracked it!

a "C. Link Maker" ... there's another upper case C on the page - the groom's father was a "Minister Church of Scotland" and the 'C' of Church (upper case) matches.  What looks like an 'm' could be a slip of the hand when writing.

I've tried to attach another section of the record showing the upper case 'C' but I keep getting the error message    saying there's already an image with the same name!  Not the first time this has happened to me on this site recently

Hi

Probably a bit late but....

This is a very useful web site for old occupations and appears to correlate with Rena's posting

I think he didn't use & for the second 'and' as it was in the context of the marriage between 'Henry Hyatt Booth and Annie Robertson or Booth' and an ampersand wouldn't really be right there.

Thanks Heather

I notice the 'and' on the (unrelated) entry below this one.

We live and learn!

Hi All

I know I've marked this as *** COMPLETED *** but I just thought I'd let you know that the man with the mysterious job title may NOT have been connected to the couple.

The 1921 marriage in question was conducted in the Registry Office on King George IV Bridge in Edinburgh - directly across the road from the ScotlandsPeople Centre - and the witnesses were married SEVENTEEN years before (i.e.1904) in Edinburgh and so were possibly just 'passers by' minding their own business, who were hauled in off the street to satisfy the legal requirements of a Sheriff's Warrant marriage!  They may well appear on the 1911 Census so I'll have a look when I next get to Edinburgh - just to satisfy my curiosity.

It's been another interesting journey nevertheless and I've enjoyed our exchanges and appreciate your help.
