He was a shoemaker in 1841 then an inspector by 1848. That's quite a jump in 7 years. But in 1841 there is a son who is a hair draper and then your James is also a hair draper. I don't suppose Isibella's death certificate would have her husband's occupation on it, would it? Would her address be on it? Waterbeer St was where the Police Station was situated.
