    Sorry to say Val but it does look like Miner to me.

    Compare the 'M' in the names Morgan and Mitchell on the sheet and they look the same as in Miner!

    Let's hope someone else thinks different!!

            Couldn't he have been a miner back in Cape Town where he embarked, but changed to a different occupation once he settled in England -plenty of gold or diamond mining in South Africa, not much in England

              Thanks for looking Judith but I would be amazed if he did any mining think he thought he was too posh ,but he did travel a bit but as a Merchant, and mostly to Boston Massachusetts. I am trying to find him and wife in 1901 and was hoping maybe they had gone abroad during that time , found him coming back from Boston in 1907 but cannot find him going out ? between his marriage in 1895 in the UK and a son born here in 1904
              He is back here with his wife in 1911

                Could he be a miner in terms of being a mine manager or prospector rather then a mine worker.
                The person filling out the log perhaps was a bit brief and couldn't be bothered to put a full description in.
