I have a picture of a chap standing with a horse and cart, taken late 1920s (I think). On his cart he states his profession is a 'Cutler'. Would anyone have any idea what this profession entailed. The only thing that comes to my mind is possibly he sharpened cutlery. What do you think? Thanks |

I have someone in my tree who was shown as a cutler and this was what was on his marriage certificate as his occupation. He was also shown as a scissor grinder on some census and appeared to be a traveller occupying a 'van' with others in 'vans' at the same location. |
