Can anyone tell me what it means if the word EARTH has been added to the occupations of: Potters Kilnman, Potters Placer, Potters Dipper, Potters Decorator etc? Many thanks Christel

Wild guess but could it mean 'earthenware' as opposed to other types of ceramic? Perhaps change your title of the thread to 'potters advice wanted'!! Good luck Jenxx

Thanks Jen, have changed it. I think you're probably right about earthenware. There are other 'added' words like: 'M Chem' written over the occupation of Gas Stoker and 'Port' written over Drapers Errand Boy.
