An occupation in Briton Ferry
« on: Thursday 20 June 24 16:40 BST (UK) »
Just a quickie -- I wondered whether to put this in 'handwriting deciphering' but then thought it might be an occupation more quickly recognised in Wales. I cannot read what Richard Gethin did! It looks like 'Robb charmer' to me. Any thoughts? Would be most grateful.

Not sure about the first word, but I would agree with rosie99 about "Turner".

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
