Hi, I'm in the realms of the 1770's here and so occupations a little different.

The family occupation down a couple of generations seems to be that of Coachman but I've just come across a baptism of what I suspect is a brother to my line where the father's occupation is P Chaisem

Now could this be the same occupation? I'm thinking P for Phaeton? Chaise perhaps

Could it be Post Chaise Man or Messenger?

Well that's definitely another thought isn't it, at least it would seem that the occupation is driving of some sort anyway, think I need to claim James for mine

Clever guy Blue!!! Just found his marriage allegation which gives the occupation as Post Chaisman, lovely, thanks.
