"Coke drawer" sounds fine to me. I imagine he would be someone who raked the coke from a coke oven in pre-mechanised days.

Thanks folks. I still can't link this family to my tree, but I can't believe they aren't some relative of my GGGG Grandfather Parkin Snaith. So now to try to find Thomas's father... P

Hi, could someone do me an 1891 Census lookup please, based on the information from a wedding certificate. I'm looking for Eden Parkin Snaith (bn c1884). Given that her marriage in 1916 was in Bishop Auckland, I guess she'll be born some where in Durham County. Her father is listed as Thomas Snaith. Thanks in advance, Paul
