Hi Ann I've come across it before and I think it's to do with livestock farming as in animal husbandry. Michelle

Yep, its the occupation - of the groom I take it? A famer/smallholder with stock (animals).

thank you, didn't think of that, was concerned with looking for clues that he had been married before. Don't know why as he is not a blood relative, married my Gtx4 Grandmother but is not the father of Gtx3!! Just nosey I guess. Ann Glos
