What professions do you have a lot of?

What professions do you have an unexpectedly large number of in your tree

Personally I have around 11 priests, about 10 watchmakers, and quite a few brushmakers.

I have two vicars from the 1800's and in the 1900's a dentist, loads of teachers and nurses and a civil engineer

Mine seem to be coachmen, then chauffeurs.  Even today, my dad and several of his family are still in the motor trade, dad being a coachbuilder.

Ag labs, Brickmakers and General Labourers!!!  I would love something different and exciting!

Lead smelters! 2xg grandfather was a lead smelter and his father and father in law were both lead smelters.  I haven't gone further back on this line, but my guess is that a few more forefathers were.  After that no one seemed to follow in the family professions.  I rather like that as I am discovering so many new trades that I knew nothing.

Ag labs (mine), miners (his) and a surprising number of cobblers - just about sums it up really!  I also have a few blacksmiths, wheelwrights and carmen.

Think Jane, Gill and I share a common ancestry  I've also got a few tenant farmers, a cordwainer, a tailor and some yeomen. Most of the women were domestic servants, laundresses and one or two dressmakers.

But who knows, my illegit lines may be ever so posh
