It's interesting how the coders worked though...how could they know if work was indoors or outdoors...or if someone was a washer-woman at home or in a laundry or whatever. Or indeed if they were a professional swimmer (do they mean working in the local bath house 
) and not just a keen amateur

Any of those occupations that were given on the census schedules were all classified as 62 Washing and Bathing Service. As it says in the instructions to the clerks employed in classifying the occupations, the occupations under which people were returned numbered many thousands, these were grouped into just 399 headings.
