Hi I can find broker: Broker: Essentially a salesman or middleman to a supplier for arranging sales. Can't find Cop but I found Cop Fitter :Fitted 'cops' to the looms. A cop is a cone onto which the yarn is wound after spinning, ready for weaving on the loom So could he have been a Salesman of Cop or parts of Looms perhaps? Cheryl x
