It would be so nice to see a different occupation sometimes! Has anyone found any really unusual occupations in their searches?

Most off mine are Coal Miners/hewers, Ag Lab, Stone masons, servents, naurse maids/nannies etc.. one was a Policeman formaily a clock and watch maker, later a house painter (after being kicked of the force) and I have a female publican and a female shop keeper. A head misstress and a school misstress (Sisters) Dada tells me they had confectioners in his family but I've not found them yet.
