on the census before it says Tellmonger, whatever that is. So maybe this one is buss proprieter meaning business owner? |

It's Fellmonger. A dealer in fells or sheepskins, who separates the wool from the pelts. |

I see it as ..landed.. too. I have found Wills for some of my folk, ..... but never any where much land or money was involved. Gwyn |

Thanks Gwyn, I think you are right. Tracing back my dad'd line, I have about 25 wills, some involving considerable amounts of money and land. Heaven only knows what went wrong, but we were all as poor as church mice!! |
