Hi Carol I've got the same thing with my Mason family in the same area. I have a 'Master Mariner', but I do know that I have a lot of watermen/lightermen too. Sorry to be of no help, but I will watch the thread with interest. Dawn

Hi, I have a relation whose occupation was given as a Mariner in 1879, I realise this is some of seaman, but does anyone have a clue if this would be an 'ocean going' sort of seaman, or a 'river' seaman. He came from around Stepney/Bethnal Green. Have looked on Dockland Ancestor website, no joy there. Carol
