I just received his marriage certs and death cert.
They helped me to be more sure that I'm following the right person.
It niggled me that he was variously a tanner/leather worker/accountant/grocer/schoolteacher...
His dad was a teacher, Joseph became a teacher.
His first wife's father was a teacher too.
His second wife's father was a saddler... (leather industry)
I'm guessing that he was always a teacher but that it didn't pay much so he had a more lucrative job too???
Does anyone know about teachers' salaries at the end of the 19th
century??
