The earliest record of him being a commercial traveller is the 1871 Census. The 1881 is more specific in saying that he travelled in wines and spirits. The earliest record of him having an occupation is the register entry for his marriage to Fanny Knighton in 1861 which shows him as a cellarman. He is also shown as a cellarman in the register entry for the baptism of his son Charles in 1864 so it is assumed that he moved from being a cellarman to a traveller in the latter half of the 1860s. It is not known who he worked for.
