Please tell me what you can about the belief that chimney sweeps bring
good luck, esp. to bride and groom at marriage. I ask this having heard of
a present day sweep being hired to attend weddings in Bradford. Is this
practice or tradition widespread and/or old, or is it post-Mary Poppins?
Thanks for your help,
