In addition to these multifarious occupations he shaved and cut the hair of two generations in Solihull.

Here's another goldsmith who got into undergarments.
Peter (otherwise Pierre) Jouet, the one with the biography on page 565 of Grimwade's book, was doubling as a goldsmith and hoop petticoat maker at the time he wrote his Will (National Archives reference PROB 11/731/60).

Jeweler and Issuer of Marriage Licenses

A letter recently received by a San Francisco jeweler from Theodore E. Strutz, jeweler at Hanna, Alberta, Can., reveals a new department of the business. Mr. Strutz has on his letterheads the announcement: "Issuer of Marriage Licenses." It's a new angle that has not been tried in this country.
