I suppose George could have tried his hand at boilermaking and went back to coalmining?

What do you think?

James Chapman 6. Son.

Thomas Chapman 1. Son.

Others born Dudley.

Yes Jimmy I've added all the Census details but that's what I mean, why is he a Boilermaker on the marriage certificate?

It could be just a mistake the vicar made.

Yes you could be right Jimmy, everything else fits so I'll add the info
