From the 1841 census for Brundish, Suffolk.


Thomas, Davies, Jones, Walters, Daniel in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. That should narrow it down a bit!
Vincent: Fressingfield, Suffolk, Stockton & Sunderland.
Murtha/Murtaugh: Dundalk & Sunderland
Ingram: Cairnie by Huntly, Scotland then Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
Bardouleau: London - in memory of my stepmother Annie Rose née Bardouleau who put up with a lot from me.

I'm still inordinately proud of my ancestor who was a Public Convenience Attendant

On his daughter's marriage certificate, he was somewhat more euphemistically described as a Local Authority Attendant  :D

During the Great Depression when jobs were scarce, my grandfather was able to get employment as a 'sanitation engineer' to support his wife, 7 children, wife's parents & wife's grandmother. As he has trained and worked as an engineer in several countries earlier I was a bit surprised when my mother explained this last job was working at the town dump  :-\
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

A friend once put on an application form that required his previous employment 'Educational Establishment Maintenance and Security Facilitator' [Caretaker / Janitor] and was progressed to the next level, where he was accused of being untruthful about his work experience. :)

Careful circumlocutions can sometimes be most helpful.

Self-certificate sick leave forms offer enormous scope.

The one I'm most proud of was "mild case of poisoning - exact cause not established"

Well, it certainly wasn't ESTABLISHED ... but the fact I had been drinking the night before MIGHT have had something to do with it ...
