1. looking for tailor index [1]
Hello everyone, I am new to the list and am interested to know if there is a list or index for English and Irish tailors from the end of the 1700's to 1850. I am looking for a regimental tailor in the British Army (a few of them) and suspect that their families were tailors before the joined the Army. I have no regiment to check records of parishes so I am trying to do it the other way around. Both families eventually came to Australia and set up tailoring businesses with one lasting into the 1940's.

3. Silent Merchant? Osler? Wanton? [1]
Hi, I'm working with an 1860 Census from Virginia and need help with some occupations. There are two whose occupation is listed as "silent merchant." Does anyone know what this was? Also, I have one listed as an "osler" and one as a "wanton." Unfortunately, it is possible that I'm reading these two wrong as they are just a little difficult to accurately decipher. Has anyone heard about either of these - or something that might look similar? Thanks for any information. Jan Rader Kent, OH
4. Mill Wright [1]
I have seen WRIGHT in several lists of old-time occupations, but I have not seen MILL WRIGHT. Can anyone tell me where I can find a job description for a MILL WRIGHT in the lumber industry? I am primarily interested in Oregon in 1900. I am secondarily interested in Wisconsin between 1855 and 1920. Thank you very much. _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search. Find.
