Occupations: Church

Sextons and Vergers, from Kelly's 1900 Directory of Norfolk

Sexton: A church lay officer, whose duties include the digging of graves, the care of the churchyard, and often the care, cleaning, etc, of the church building, church vessels and vestments.
Verger: An attendant in church, whose duties include carrying a mace before church dignitaries, and often the care of the interior of the church building.

Note that in this directory, only 130 places had a sexton or verger shown. This does not necessarily mean that all the other places did not have a person undertaking either role, simply that no one was shown by name.

There were two lady sextons, at Frenze and Rackheath.

England:- Occupations

A very useful Dictionary of Occupational Terms was available on CD from the Open University. Some copies may still be available through the Family and Community Historical Research SocietyFACHRS) or you may find a it among your local FH Society's resources. This CD reproduces the 1927 Ministry of Labour guide to occupational terms used in the 1921 census. Although this is a 20th century publication, many of the terms are unchanged from their 19th century usage.
Peter Christian has recently (Q4 2016) made this available as an online database
Rodney Hall also has a page listing old occupational terms.
The web site of the English Family Tree Association also had a list of old occupational terms. That web site has disappeared but here is a snapshot from the Internet Archive.
The National Archives (TNA) web site includes a collection of Research Guides many of which relate to occupations. It is also worth submitting an occupation as a search term to TNA's Discovery.
Public Houses, Inns and Taverns: This site gives historic information on many Pubs, Inns, Taverns & Beer Houses across the country.
Two useful books about agricultural practice and implements are The Land of England by Dorothy Hartley and Woodland Crafts in Britain by Herbert L.Edlin (ISBN 0715358529).
A more general book on the subject is A Dictionary of Old Trades, Titles and Occupations by Colin Titford and John Waters
George's: Canal Boating in the U.K. and Europe website provides maps of navigable canals in England and Wales. The CANAL-PEOPLE and the ENG-CANAL-PEOPLE Mailing Lists are valuable resource for those with ancestors who were canal workers or barge owners.

Stan Cook's Gunmakers & Allied Trades Index

[including Gunsmiths, Gunlock makers and Gunbarrel makers]

Stan Cook established the Gunmakers & Allied Trades Index in 1982. As of April 2004 over 9000 surnames are listed, covering a total of at least 25,000 individual workers. The index continues to grow at the rate of about thirty names each month, and additional information most welcome.

The collection has information about gun trade people working in the U.K. from the start of the trade before 1500 up to 1901. The sources include parish and church records, many trade directories, various census records, the documents of the Board of Ordnance, the registers of the London Gunmakers' Company, apprenticeship records, patent listings and a variety of publications.

The database includes a complete index of the London Gunmakers' Company apprentice records from 1656 to 1902; an index of the gunmakers listed in the Inland Revenue Apprentice Stamp Duty records, 1710-1775; a list of the gun trade people who were listed in the 1851 census of Devon, Norfolk, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and large parts of other counties; a list of at least 600 Wills of guntrade people. Information about various fire insurance policies taken out by gunmakers. An index of the guntrade people recorded in the 1881 census [over 7300 names] of the UK [this includes Scotland and the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey]. So far the names of about 2000 guntrade workers have been collected from the 1901 census. These are obviously subject to the special copyright provisions of this particular census.

Beyond the UK records, the records of guntrade people [mostly of UK or Irish origins] in Australia, Canada, Ireland, South Africa and some parts of the USA, along with the records of a number of British Trading organisations such as the Hudson Bay Company and British East India Company, have also been researched.

Due to illness Stan Cook is currently not actively researching or responding to queries. The records are being prepared with the intention of (hopefully) making them more widely available when time permits. In the meantime the email address below is still active.

[John Woodgate: "The Village Labourer focuses specifically on the life of the poor in rural districts during the period 1760 - 1832. It illustrates in detail what was happening to this section of the working classes under a government in which they had no share. Opening with a chapter describing the concentration of power, the authors go on to explain the common-field system and village class structure which set the scence for what must be considered the most important social and economic event of the periof - enclosure. Subsequent chapters examine its inception, implementation and effects. the book concludes with a picture of the village labourer's plight in 1795, together with a discussion of the remedies which were proposed but not adopted. Desite the importance which is placed on enclosure, there is a full consideration of other contributory factors, making this a valuable introduction to an understanding of the lives and fortunes of a class that had no voice in its own destiny."]
