Mr G has a grave digger at Kensal Green in the 1840s and lots of railwaymen, soldiers,weavers and glove makers (Worcestershire) and, of course, the ones we all have - ag labs.

Still no match girls. Did they all die so young that they didn't have children?

Nice one Marie - lovely story if it had been

I haven't found any ag labs yet!!!  Maybe there are some way back, but I'm back quite a way on most lines, and nary an ag lab!  Lightermen - they are my honoured working class group!

Mine are nearly all miners, with one or two stone masons to break the pattern.  It's not too surpriing, really, as the family all come from the Durham area - but I was a bit disappointed at not having seafaring men in my tree.  I've got three brothers who all joined the Navy and were in submarines, and I love sailing myself - the closest I get to a nautical reference, was my ggggg grandfather, Patrick - on 21st October 1805, when Nelson was urging all Englishmen to do their duty - he was getting married!!!
Joice, Coburn, Fairs - Easington, Durham villages, Jarrow, Hebburn, Monkwearmouth, Chester le Street, Gateshead, Haswell....she was only a coal miner's daughter (well, grand-daughter)
