Hosiery Brusher
Hello
Can anyone tell me please? I have just received a copy of my Father's birth certificate, and for his father's occupation, it says Hosiery Brusher - can anyone tell me what this was please? This was in 1915.
Thank you
Lisa

Did your father come from the Nottingham area? Nottingham & Leicester were the main areas for production of hosiery (ie socks, silk stockings).
You may get help & information from museums in the area.

Hello
Thank you for your very quick reply! Yes, that was all I could find also, but hadn't thought of trying the museums in the area - yes, my father was born in Nottingham, and I was born and lived there till I was 10 also. I had also thought of trying the V&A museum too, as they have a very big costume section. Thanks for your help.
