Does anyone know what a 'betterman' is? I found this for my gr.grand-uncles occupation - looked like it said 'betterman' anyway! Anyone got any ideas?

Alison, A Peterman is a fisherman. A Litterman is a groom. Maybe where he lived will give you a clue. Crista

Maybe...however, he was a beer bottler in previous documentation though? Strange!
