Pewterer, Coal Porter, Coal Merchants, Artificer Artisan (?), Gun Factory (Enfield) workers, Ostlers, and a GGrandfather who worked at Covent Garden and lost an eye when a box of oranges fell on him! Among the women, fancy basket liner, servants and chars. Not a flipping millionaire among 'em! Oh and on the Old Bailey site, a young lady (who COULD be an ancestor)done for pickpocketing and sentenced to death!! (later reprieved and transported instead)! Dierdre X |

All boring Ag Labs in husband's tree! I do have a house painter & decorator and a coal hewer in mine though! Wish my G Grandad was still around - I could do with my hallway decorated! Sue |

Sorry, my ancestors had commonplace occupations: farmers, teachers, carpenters, etc. The most uncommon (today's standards) are piano stringer and rope maker. |
