Chiseller, married, with a child (5)

I believe the answer is:

mason

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chiseller' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'married with a child' is the wordplay.
'married' becomes 'm'.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'child' becomes 'son' (male child).
'm'+'a'+'son'='MASON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mason that I've seen before include "Dresser" , "Member of a secret fraternal order" , "One is skilful with stone" , "Craftsman working in stone" , "He works with stone - may be free" .)
