Team Man?
« on: Monday 08 April 19 20:52 BST (UK) »
Please can some kind soul decipher and explain this occupation on the 1911 census?

It looks like Teamman .......but that doesn't make sense to me. He obviously works for a farmer and so it is an occupation in the agricultural category but I wonder what a team man does?

Many thanks  :)
Best wishes HL

Teamster / Teamer / Teamer Man  -    Driver of a team horses used for hauling. So perhaps he worked with the horses used for ploughing etc?

Big farms might have half a dozen pair of horses, first horseman, second horseman etc!
