I would think it means that he worked for one particular person and wore that employers 'livery' or in other words 'uniform'. Kath. x |

or he worked for a livery. A place where you kept your horse if you didn't have your own stables, they fed and groomed it for you. Also the equivalant of todays Hertz or Rent-aCar where you could hire a horse or horse and carriage. dave |

My Grandfather as well as being a Coachman was a Livery Groom, looked after the horses that pulled the funeral hearse he drove many many moons ago. |
