Thanks Jo, looks like the person who disagreed was wrong according to that doesn't it?
The said person suggested that if he was a 'clerk' he wouldn't have been living in Double Row which contains 'labouring' families. If he was a clerk he would have lived in a more up-market district.

? odd to think that because of the address? What did they think he was?
As NL said may be look for a child marriage see if that says anything we can link to?
