Wool Stapler/Fellmonger

[Sue from Southend]

I'm trying to decide whether someone in the 1720's could be described as being of both these trades and would appreciate your opinions!

Wool Stapler - http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/Wool-stapler

Fellmonger - http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/Fellmonger

They look similar to me but trades were so specific at that time I'm not sure.

Forget that! I've been looking at the records wrongly - he was a Wool Stapler, his apprentice's father was a Fellmonger....

Apologies for time wasting!
