Subject: [BDF] Bonnet Sewers and Straw Plaiters


I may be inadvertently going over some old territory for long time
listers, but can anyone enlighten me to the occupations of "Bonnet
Sewers" and "Straw Plaiters" in Dunstable. Since, I have been
searching my family members I have noted these job descriptions for
female family members several times and I am puzzled as to what they
relate to.

Thank you,
Chris in Ontario
