Making a living
When you’re creating your family tree, you usually include each ancestor’s name, key dates — and often their occupation. This proves just how important your forebears’ working lives are in your research. We have a wealth of records that will help you find out what your relatives did for a living and discover the impact that had on their lives.
Once you’ve discovered your ancestors’ occupations in our key records, you can explore their working lives in more specialist collections — including our latest releases. Then learn more about the history behind the records in these exclusive videos, with expert insight from Tony Robinson. for more click here
