What professions do you have a lot of?

Suey I have a 'Mangler' also.  At first I thought she must have been one of the original 'Tag Team Wrestlers'       There's also miners, cotton workers, miners, gilders, enamelers, miners, publicans and a mantle maker.  Oh and a few miners .. .  did I mention those!!!

My father was the only direct ancestor in my tree with a profession, a draughtsman, all the rest were tradesmen or labourers like most of the other people replying to this thread.

On my grandfather's side they were wheelwrights and carpenters - with a coach builder thrown in for good measure.  The carpenters and builders  have continued in Australia - and my son trained as an architect but diversified into building materials science. It will be interesting to see if any of the next generation continue in this type of work.

My English grandmother's side of the family were all poor ag. labs and shoemakers.  Did have one leather currier though who went to the USA and became a millionaire  early in the 1900s.  Not by being a leather currier - he got into the Amusement business over there.
