Cordwainer / Cordiner / Corviner / Corvisor Shoemaker. Originally, a leather worker using high quality Cordovan leather from Spain for such things as harness, gloves and riding boots. By the 19c it had reduced to a shoemaker - as distinct from a cobbler, who repaired shoes. nell |

Thanks Nell, that is absolutely brilliant! I was thinking I had got the wrong person because I was looking for a boot/shoe manufacturer. Thanks again Sophie |
