Going through various census transcriptions I have come across some interesting occupations. Alas a closer inspection of the actual record reveals the mundane truth! Here are a few of my favorites...
Transcript..."Book and stone maker"
Actual....."Boot and shoe maker"
Transcript..."Boring domestic work"
Actual...."Doing domestic work"
Transcript..."Rural maid carrier"
Actual...."Rural mail carrier"
I can almost visualise the last job...!
Any other interesting occupations to add to the list.
