Is there any record of James Ginder's occupation when he married?

FMP has papers for 2845 Pte. Augustus Ginder 9th Lancers. Enlisted at Manchester 9/5/1889 aged 18 years 11 months. Born Pendleton Manchester. Occupation grocer. Religion C of E. Served in South Africa 2/2/1900- 9/5/1902. Discharged 30/5/1902. Entitled to a QSA with clasps Natal, OFS & Transvaal & a KSA with two clasps.

James Ginder is shown as his brother but I still can't find anything on him. There is a James Ginder married at Salford in the 2nd quarter of 1888 but no further information.

Our Mr Ginder was a bit of a naughty boy.
He did a runner in Newcastle just after joining the R A in 1890 to join the Highlanders.
He joined the R A in January 1890 and deserted in March.

He certainly made up for his desertion to the Black Watch under J Robinson 4124
QSA 6 clasps and a KSA returned home for demobilisation in 1903
Clasps, Paardeberg, Driefontein, Johannesburg, Diamond Hill, Belfast and Cape Colony.

A-ha!!! I was wondering if the assumed name might have been because he'd been kicked out of the R.A. for some reason, but I like your post more.
