Mason - Sculptor (reply)

My great grandfather was a sculptor, earlier he was a mason journeyman. In his case this meant he was mason while training(journeyman). Later he worked on marble and was then a sculptor. Marble of course requires more finesse. My grandfather when young made the mistake of attempting to carry out work on a piece of marble and succeeded in ruining it. This cost my great grandfather a lot of money as the spoilage had to be paid for by him. Grandad had trouble sitting down for a long time and was not allowed near masonry work again. He became a miner and moved into monmouthshire when he was older.

as a general description for someone who worked with stone i.e.mason, stone mason,

pretty sure that is the case here - mason the generic term for someone working with stone - cutting it, dressing it etc

the sculptor was "probably" someone who did finer / detailed work or ornamental work...

Edward george Neblitt occupation given as sculptor I have had no joy in tracing a sculptor by this name. Or was the word sculptor used as a general description for someone who worked with stone i.e.mason, stone mason,or even a quarryman?

thanks to all for your replies but actually my query was about his occupation i.e.
sculptor as I cannot find any reference about his work or him as a sculptor
any ideas ????
