Well its definitely Apprentice ------- Roller - I'm not sure if there was an occupation of a Fleshing Roller, but there were Rolling Mills - often invovled with iron, sometimes making parts for the Cotton Mills - 'fluting' is a term used for making long narrow furrows in things, so I would imagine that if it is a Fluter Roller that it was someone who 'fluted' iron at a Rolling Mill?

Mrs Tibbetts, I think you are right, I had just about come to same conclusion. I will ask m.o.h. when he comes in, he is good on industrial occupations having worked in a wool textile mill in his youth (that's of course in the days when we still had textile mills!)

Yeah - I have many Cotton Mill workers from Lancs/Cheshire in my tree and some Iron Turners and Iron Roller's in the same areas so I wouldn't be surprised if that was what his occupation was. The Bolton area had plenty of mills to be supplied with parts!

Being a 'fluter' probably was quite a skill to learn - so being an apprentice was the best way to learn it properly. I imagine the fluting had to be pretty precise too.
