Thank you! That makes a lot more sense! And more satisfying than the image of a male ancestor wearing a pinny!

Will make a note of the website - many thanks x

Hi, can anyone shed any light on the occupation, 'Husband Man'?! It appears on one of my marriage certs and also a census return (within the same family although different person). Is this the old fashioned way of saying 'House Husband'??!!

Thanks x
