Occupation : -monger ?
I have an inventory from 1699 for John Plummer (possibly my 8x-great-grandfather).
The appraisers are Richard Kestle of Probus yeoman Thomas Plummer of Probus ?mong? Duglass Kestle of Probus yeoman What occupations are there with -monger? It almost looks like ?ellmonger. |

Fellmonger - "a person who prepares skins for the tanner".

I would agree with fellmonger. Have come across that as an occupation in quite recent census records.

On further perusal, I can confirm he was a fellmonger. Some of the family in this area were tanners, which ties in well. If it is the same man, he had become a Yeoman later in his life!
Many thanks for the help. |
