An Introduction to...
Occupations. A Preliminary List
Second edition. By Joyce Culling, 64 pages. ISBN 1-86006-103-6.
Under the heading "Occupation, Trade, Rank or Profession" can be found some of
the most revealing clues to family history. The occupation of the head of the household
determined the lifestyle of the family, dictating how and where they lived. Frequently
it affected the next generation, as sons followed their fathers' occupations or
carried on the family business, while marriage often strengthened ties between families
already connected by trade or occupation.
There are several thousand occupations listed in census return tables with many
sub-divisions noted in manufacturing areas. While some terms are vague and of doubtful
interpretation the great majority are self-explanatory or are easily identified.
However, in some instances a specific occupation can be known by different names,
or the same name is applied to very different trades, according to the locality.
