    Lighterman.

    These were chaps who operated flat bottomed barges and there were masses of them on the River Thames. :)

    Thank you Jan. There's a family 'story' that he was a Master of a barge, but I have yet to prove it.;)

    Being a Lighterman was a very skilled occupation, so there probably is some truth in the family story. :)

    Sis have you looked for any Indentures for appprenticeships as lightermen or similar ? I've found several for my various family members- although earlier than 1939.
