Hi, In the 1881 Census my Great- Great Grandfather George Carter occupation is detailed as Engineer E & M & 10/1. Does any body have a clue, does this relate to a factory? Any help much appreciated.
E and M could mean mechincal and electrical going by todays jobs discriptions. Heres a link of what an m and e engineer is at todays standards.
Couldnt tell you what 10/1 is.
What sort of area is he in? Wondered if that gave any clues, or maybe the occupations of some of his neighbours might help. I could be barking up completely the wrong tree, but my first thought was to wonder if E&M related to one of the many 19th century railway companies.
