    Question fan manufacturer/basket maker

    My 3xggrandfather is listed on his daughter's marriage cert (1848) as a fan manufacturer. Three years later in 1851 he is listed as a master basket maker. Does anyone know whether there were fans made of basket-work or has he made a progression from fan-making to basket-making?

    Most certainly. You may like to look up winnowing and winnowing fan or fann. It was a special type of whicker basket used for winnowing.
