Hello Michele,


It's really easier for those who help if you can stick to one thread please.

It makes life easier for them in that they have all the facts in one place.

Thanks.



Have you tried googling for info? There is quite a lot to be found which may help you.

Regards,

My grandfather was a master engraver & diamond setter but is usually recorded as silver/goldsmith.

Lots of engravers coming up in 1881!

The Engraver that Michele is looking for fathered a son c 1835 so could well be deceased before 1881 or 1911. I think that for earlier census you need to look at the actual image to see the occupations - but I am open to correction on that. It may just be the site that I use hasn't indexed the occupation fields.
