Okay now here is a real conunudrum - William (b1851) is listed on several Birth and Marriage Certs as an Ointment Manufacturer - he then reverts to being a Collier but son Harry takes up the Ointment business. Now this fits in with "family history" that there was a Patent Ointment Manufacturer of animal remedies. Anyone got any clues about where I can find out anything about this majic potion!! Patents office does not have any records etc.
