Old occupations

Have you ever found an ancestor on a census but had no idea what that occupation was?

I found this today when trying to help someone work out what a striker did on the 1901 census - nothing to do with football

The Rimmer library has a book on old occupations, but it's on loan to Mr Ed at present - if you need something looking up pm him and I'm sure he won't mind looking it up for you

I have a book called 'A dictionary of old trades, titles and occupations'

I think we're talking about the same book, mother
