Re 1881 Canadian census: - could someone elaborate a little on these two occupations? Back then, was a "wagoner" someone who built wagons, or drove them? Are the terms "wagoner" and "carter" interchangeable? And did the term "journeyman" apply to a specific job back then, or did it apply to the "learning stage" of various jobs?
