You need to say where they were born and where they were living, so they can be found on the other censuses Linda |

cord wainer 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 Linda |

I have a copy of my grand mothers (Gertrude) marriage certificate in 1903, that says my ggrandfather was Francis Fletcher, his occupation is listed as a cord warmer. I have found a family on familysearch.org for the 1881 census listing Francis aged 36 as a shoemaker and Gertrude as 1 year old, this Gertrude would be the right age. Would somebody please mind looking in the 1891 and 1901 census for me, to see what Francis`s occupations were then. Gertrude may not be with them in 1901 as she was listed as a domestic servant on marriage cert. Also, what was a cord warmer? Sylvia |
