      There's certainly something rather resonant about a brewer's labourer having the surname TIPPLE!
      I keep wanting that middle letter to be an o, but it could easily be part of a w.

          I think its brewer's labourer too. I have a few of these, I imagine their duties probably involved lugging beer barrels about.

                            Straw plaiting was a very common employment for women and children, especially around Luton (for making hats, hence nickname "Hatters" for Luton Football team).
                            Our local Hitchin museum had some examples of straw plaiting and it looked jolly hard work on the hands.

                                And Luton museum has/had a whole section devoted to the local hat and lacemaking industries.
