The marriage was registered in the fourth quarter of 1907 at Bradford (GRO Vol 9b page 23).
Charlie Fox, a stuff

A
stuff presser was a person who used a hot-pressing machine to finish cloth. The
cloth was placed between sheets of stiff press paper before being put into the
machine. Stuff was a thick, coarse cloth that was originally made
from wool. Later, it was made from linen yarn and worsted. In Victorian times,
the term stuff was used as a general term for any fabric. People who
worked in the textile industry were also called pressers, ironing workers,
pants pressers, or shirt pressers. They might press or shape articles by hand
or machine. They might also hang, fold, package, and tag finished articles for
delivery to customers.
In
dry cleaning companies or laundry plants, pressers iron clothing after it has
been washed and dried. Their primary duty was to remove all wrinkles from the
clothing.
