A manager or head worker on a farm or farms who is mainly engaged in supervision and allocation of duties; superintends the work of agricultural labourers e.g. carters, cowman; is often placed in charge of a subsidiary farm under the direct supervision of the employer and manages the farm in the absence of the farmer; he may buy and sell produce and equipment in market on the owner's behalf. Certainly a cut above a yardman

Stan . What puzzles me about Grt Grt Grandads occupation description is the 'on Estate' part. This was in the middle of Bradford ! Erm Yardman in knackers yard , yes , Yardman in scrapyard , yes or yardman in a weaving mill yard , yes . But on 'an Estate'  ,as in Country Estate in the middle of Bradford ! !  in 1911 ! !  . Err . He was a bit of a character apparently

Thanks sallyyorks

I have his death cert which states "suicide" "unsound mind"
No further information.
The papers of the time tend to go in to alarming detail, so I was hoping to find it that way as was aware that Coroners records are difficult to trawl thru.
