Suck Diesel Isn’t our online Census a marvellous thing! Well done National Archives of Ireland.
John Spooner said:
But is he a cobbler or a cordwainer? A cordwainer makes shoes from new leather (originally using leather from Cordoba), whereas a cobbler makes shoes from old bits of leather ('cobbled' together). One of my great-great-great grandfathers was a cordwainer, and they were very particular about the distinction. New leather was more expensive, so his customers were all 'well-healed'. Or more likely the peasants in his village couldn't afford his products, and he went bankrupt before moving to the big town nearby.

The census sits on the fence with 'shoe maker'.

John Spooner "Well healed" I like it. I see he describes himself as "Shoe Maker" in both the 1901 and 1911 Census. I am afraid that does not answer the question you raised.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
John Spooner
There are 8 men in Ireland with the occupation of Cordwainer in the 1901 Census
There are 2 men in Ireland with the occupation of Cordwainer in the 1911 Census

There are the odd few Cord Wainers in both 1901 and 1911, along with Board wainer, Rent wainer, Horse wainer and a Cord winner!

DannyM8 Thank you, Danny! Stand by for a fourth image this morning - think you might like it...

Florence Court was the seat of the Earls of Enniskillen before the National Trust acquired it in 1953, shortly before a devastating fire destroyed the upper floors of the house. Extensive restoration efforts have since returned Florence Court to much of its former glory, although some rooms on the upper floors remain closed. The house is best known for its exquisite Rococo decoration and fine Irish furniture. Many original items of furniture, previously sold, have been re-acquired and returned. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Court

They did enjoy their ~~manly sports~~ killing sprees at Florence Court. Belfast News-letter September 2nd, 1828, quoting the Erne Packet
ENNISKILLEN, AUG 28. - The Earl of Enniskillen has his hospitable mansion at Frorence-Court filled with his numerous friends and relatives, where all kinds of manly sports and amusements are going forward. Grousing in the highest perfection - his Lordship's sons and nephews, headed by other veteran sportsmen; kill their stint, viz;- ten brace a gun each day. His Lordship's brother-in-law, the Honourable Berkley Paget, and othe Gentlemen, prefer fishing occasionally. While gaiety and good humour crown the evenings; each party terenstrial and aquatic, joyously proclaim the fetes and adventures of the day. - Erne Packet.
