Another term for an Upholsterer

[Guest]

I am trying to find a man surname Young ,in any census between 1891 and 1911 as an Upholsterer, not having any luck, what else could he be called Thanks.

Chair bottomer?

I've tried googling for a synonym but had no luck.
You could maybe try furnisher or furniture repairer, something like that. Maybe furni* to get any ending that might be there?

[Darksecretz]

artisan, artificer, craftsman perhaps... journeyman?

Who is your mystery man? If you post first name, age and place of birth, maybe we can spot him.

I have seen a known upholsterer referred to as a 'upholder' but it could just have been an abbreviation or mis spelling.
