I have just had contact from someone with a match to a name I have. He appears to be yet another colourful character, and perhaps I am thankful that he belongs to my Mums adoptive family, so I do not feel duty bound to spend hours going around in circles.
Anyway the question I have is that in one census, he gives his occupation as 'writer in docks'. Has anyone come across this occupation before. I have checked the reference library sources.
Other occupations we have found for him are journalist and estate agents. I wondered if he could have transcribed in court. Any ideas?
Thank you
