Sue:

Many thanks for this. My apologies, I hope I didn't put you to too much trouble; I keep forgetting about Brian's census indices and promise I won't make the same mistake again.

I don't have an Ancestry.com subscription, so do appreciate very much all the help you have given me.

FYI - John Garrett's son, Edward was a master mariner, so I would think your guess at John's occupation is quite correct.
