A moulder was what would be now called a plaster caster.

Hi fellow listers,
Can anyone out there offer any further information on the following
occupations. On my great-grandparents' marriage certificate their
father's
professions are listed as "Moulder" and "Pattern Maker
(or marker)". I
believe both men were employed in the iron industry / foundries.
=======================
If you get the chance to go to Swindon, wife for retail therapy, husband
into the new 'STEAM' museum, there is a very good example of the pattern
makers art on display. The whole museum is worth a visit, and the National
Memorial Museum(?) is next door again. What more could you ask for in a
day
out?
Mick,
Abingdon, Oxon.
