Not quite the same, but my list of old trades has a charman down, not as a male charwoman, but as another name for a carrier - ie white van man of the Victorian age..... Merry |

I know I'm teaching my gran to suck eggs etc, but ''Have you found this man in any other records??'' Maybe he was a something-else-monger, but his name put the enumerator off.......?? Merry |

My initial thought was a seller of charcoal - collects it from the burners and sells it in the town. Then I thought maybe he ran a troupe of charwomen. Then I decided Merry's probably right!!!! maggie |
