Lots of sailors,  shipwrights,  sail makers, and dock labourers.  Also, lots and lots of stone masons, completely unconnected to each other.

3xG grandfather was a butcher - the shame of it.  I'll never be able to hold my head high in the vegetarian society again!!!

My partner has butchers in his family, and the butchers shop they owned is still running, although not by his family.  But they do have award winning sausages.  We tried some earlier this year when we stopped there so that he could have a look at the shop and they were very nice sausages.

Now I wouldn't a butcher in my family.  Sorry sallysmum, some of us eat meat ocasionally!!!!!

Going back some 350 years the family tree splits with two brothers, 1  to produce  generations of landowners, painters, writers,  a member of parliament, the other to produce ag labs, cordwainers, miners, and gen. labs. Guess which one my lot came down!
