Hi all

Merry Christmas!

I previously posted a message asking if someone could have changed occupations and have been a Gas Fitter and Labourer.

On George's marriage cert in Nov 1840 he states he is a 'Fireman', but on the 1841 census he is an Ag Lab. Is this one feasible do you think, to be a Fireman then an Ag Lab? Was a Fireman a full time occupation in those days or something voluntary/part time?

Thanks
