on a marriage certificate in 1885 father's profession is given as "Self - actor minder" Does anyone have any idea what this please? |

Well the self would be self-employed but not sure about the actor-minder - perhaps he was an early bodyguard!! Sure it says minder and not perhaps "manager"? |

Multi-head spinning machine known as 'self acting Mule' invented by Samuel Crompton of Bolton 1779. The word minder refers to the operative in charge of the machine |
