	TBH ................... I doubt that you will be able to find out! A flyman seems to have usually driven carriages that were for hire................. rather like taxis today. Coachman Servant could imply that he was a servant for someone, but I went back 2 pages in that census, and he doesn't seem to be living in the mews belonging to a "big" house. So impossible to tell who he worked for.
	Researching: My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
