Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 233 Send Message	Hi, On a recent birth certificate I purchased the occupation of the father was 'glass teazer' , I haven't been able to find this on any website I have looked at containing occupations around this date, does anyone have any idea what else this could be ? Not sure if the spelling was right on the certificate. Thanks June
