John Prewett MFMFF

[Morf]

John Prewett was the father of Thomas Prewett.
I don’t know anything about John, not even his wife’s name.
Thomas was born about 1832 in Hanham, Gloucestershire.

Do you have his occupation from his son's marriage certificate, Morf?

[Morf]

He was a Wooder.

[kiterunner]

I wonder what one of those was.

[Morf]

I don't know, I've never heard of it before lol
I took this from the parish records.

[kiterunner]

I don't think I dare Google it!

[Morf]

lol.
Oops, I did, but it's ok, all very boring really, but nothing relevent to an occupation.

[Janet]

My Word spell-checker suggests that I might have meant "Woofer". Is that plausible?

[Morf]

I've looked on Google and I can't see an old occupation for a 'Woofer' , trust me to have a strange one. lol

My geography is lousy, but is Hanham in the Forest of Dean? Might is be a local name for a woodman of some description?
