Jeanne,

He was Walter C Crack, 52, born Bardwell, Suffolk, but don't waste your
money downloading the image - Telephone Canvasser is quite clearly written.
In 1881, Walter was 'Clerk Telephone Co.', and in 1891 a Telegraph Clerk.

Another Lister has emailed me privately with a most likely answer - that
Walter sold telephones!

Cheers,
Martin

Martin,

>Anyone know what a 52 year-old Telephone Canvasser was likely to be doing
in Camberwell in 1901?<

Name, age and POB and I might be able to tell you what it should be!

Nearly as good as the S&$T IRONER I found last week!

Jeanne Bunting
