Most of mine worked in the cotton mills or on farms - but I do have 'mole catcher & sheep dealer' and a 'professor of astronomy'!

No not all .................. surely??

Forgot my gg grandfather........... the Professor of Langauges that was an English teacher in France who probably came back from France with a few French phrases C 1948 like 'can I have a loaf of bread' and blew the minds of Victorian folk who were in awe of the 'well travelled gentleman'

I have landowners, lords of the manor, ag labs, furnace workers and b....ds....and because of them b........ds, I might not have the others.

On the other hand, if my guess is right about my main bloodline being a b.......d line from some aristocracy.......

Prove it......Ha!
