I wonder how many of these occupations are actually written in the census, and how many of them are added by bored transcribers on a Friday afternoon? Just a thought...

I get the feeling that some are the result of partial searches, i.e. search for parrot and you'll find parrot importers, and unless you look at the actual pages or transcripts, you won't know for sure.

Still good fun, though
