    I'm fairly sure that Daniel's profession is recorded as Butcher, although it is possible that the record is recording his marital state as Batchelor. Surrounding records in the register show the groom's profession at the same position. But as his occupation recorded in his willl is Yeoman, it seems at first unlikely that he would ever have been a butcher. But some of his inlaws in the Booth family are also described as butchers, while appearing to be farmers. So I think a butcher in this context means a farmer who slaughters livestock.
    

They had a son and two daughters, named Joseph, Ann and Hannah.  Hannah and Ann were twins.
