Just pondering gap between Isabella and Abel -- was either Benjamin or Ann married before and had Isabella --
Can't find any of them in 1841 -- even looked Bristol way -- Abel's birth place! --was there accent so different that it has been very strangely recorded

Trace Maker/Tracer.
Worked in a draughting office, copying engineering diagrams, using tracing paper. In the days before photocopying, plans and diagrams for mining and manufacturing industries were copied by hand. It required accuracy, patience and a knack for using the pen without producing ink blots.

It was a common trade amongst our BC Ancestors, sort of a mini Chainmker, a job usually given to women or children, something to do with the horses reins, the bits over the face I think, can't find the exact definition, but we see it all the time on the Census. HTH from Linell.

The 'Traces' are the straps, ropes or chains by which
a vehicle is drawn by a harnessed animal....attached to
the horses 'collar'.
