Occupation Interests / Re: Who has the worst occupation?

It's alarming some of the mistakes census enumerators make. I once found a 15 year old girl apparently working as a gas fitter, in 1851! I expect the gas fitter was probably an elder brother and the clerk entered the occupation in the wrong box.
The worst name probably has to go to the Crapper family from Dungworth. I didn't record what they did for their living!
