Hi Ginny, I've come across this 'coachman' info before.
In the '51 cencus his occupation is stated as a groom which would fit in with the 'coachman' job discription.
Maybe he could he could have been a mid 19th century taxi driver? Mmm, worth considering..thanks Maurice.

Ginny, Edward jnr died in 1901, and Rebecca married in 1903 so my great, great, great grandmother was probably living alone when she died. But two of her sons Phillip and Richard certainly did a good job of spreading the Tweed name throughout Athersone and Nuneaton...thanks,Maurice.
