Son Of An Estate Agent

From Compton in Dorset the son of an estate agent was not the original butcher. His son reieved the education in previously run butcher's shop. The inn trade remained with his parents. Clearly this was a further two lodgers on the night of the census. In the local a butcher, a dairyman, and cheese would therefore have outlets within easy walking distance. A fact we often take for granted in today's world.
