**COMPLETED***New occupation in my Tree!

[Lloydy]

I'm afraid it's not very posh at all

No, I guessed it wasn't, but the name sounded posher than an Ag Lab or Weaver

I used to think French polisher's were, in fact, French ... but they weren't ! 
(Well, some might have been ...)

Apart from the usual cattle rustlers and sheep thieves (Border Reivers!) I've also come across Tea-dealers, and a Dancing Teacher (in the 1861 census!? ) )

I was quit excited finding a publican  and a poice constable! All the rest are ag labs and miners. Oh, there was a dairy maid, but I suppose that comes under ag lab.

Yesterday I discovered my Ag Lab and land owner/farmer, had a change of occupation.
 
1841 he's a grazier

1851 he's a farmer of 109 acres employing 4 labs

1861 he's a farmer of 187 acres with 3 farm servants

then in 1871 aged 59 he becomes landlord of a public house.

in 1881 he's a retired publican

then bizarrely in 1891 he's 79-years old and listed as Ag lab?

What a demotion. Mind you the pub's still there and its beautiful.

One of my more unusual one's was a Music Hall Attendent, he was illegitmate though  does that count

My convict ancestor was a french polisher & upholsterer.  He was transported for "pawning illegally" involving a ladies writing desk and some picture frames.  (My mother's response:  "Even our convict had good taste")

Luckily being a french polisher identifed him in many records and proved the connection to his descendants when his immediate family had hushed up his convict origins.  Apart from his baptism in 1810 I know nothing about his parents or forebears.  Ah you win some!  Gazania

I've just found out that my great granddad was a "car conductor" in 1911. I didn't even know cars could play.

 Coming from Liverpool, most of my rellies are dock labourers or shipwrights. I have no ag labs. lol.

I do have a male hairdresser, a brass moulder and lots of stone masons.
