FreeCen and FindMyPast concur. Someone that multi-skilled *must* have been my ancestor 😉
Going on Ancestry transcriptions, my potential ancestor was a teacher (1841), beamer & card cutter (1851), photographer (1861), weaving agent (1871) and gas fitter (1881). Either he was a Jack of All Trades, or I need to look at some other versions.
