When researching my late husband's family - all very religious - so that I could present my children with family history folders at the time of their marriages, I was surprised to find that he had a good number of ancestors who were apparently coal porters. 

Eventually, it dawned on me that none of them was a 'coal porter' at all.  Their occupations had been incorrectly transcribed from various census returns.  In fact, they were 'colporteurs' - pedlars in religious tracts

Well,didn't REALLYwant to let this particular cat out of the bag but,one of my lot,just the one,was a hat maker.
If this attract's any deleterious remark's from the 'nut gallery',Ishall hold my breathe 'til my face goes purple!!
                       

I have a couple hat finishers. No breath holding. We'll stand and fight.

I have the usual ag labs, servants, factory workers, but a whole line of professionals (lawyers, architects, doctors) that ends with my ggg grandfather, who decided to become a silk ribbon weaver, while his nephews went on to become famous doctors.

Being Irish Catholic, I have more nuns and priests than I would ever want to be in a room with, and in 4 generations I have 7 lawyers. Egads.

There must have been an awful lot of ag labs in this country then if we all have trees stuffed full of them.  Do think they had two jobs, because otherwise nothing else would have got done?

I really only have ag labs (as far as I know) in the tree of ancestors of one great grandparent

Perhaps I am unusual in this.

I have plenty of coal miners, hat makers, and weavers too. Also quite a number of bakers.
