PART TWO - Occupations G-Z
I have scoured wills, property records, adverts, court cases and more - dozens and dozens of sources to compile this trade and occupations directory for Great Marlow 1800-1819.
A street by street directory has already been published on the blog for the same era.
As far as I am aware no original directory from this era has survived, if any were actually compiled.
I have not included due to their sheer numbers yeoman, husbandmen, housewives or labourers. Nor staff at the Royal Military College (which can be found in the post about life for the cadets there). This list isn't complete by a long way yet online and will be added to as I wade through my notes.
The social position of those listed isn't always clear. For example a "bricklayer" could own the business and do no manual work at all, even consider themselves a gentleman or they could be the low paid labourer making the bricks. Many of those below were however their own bosses.
