| On this page you will find several
directories of trades that my Ancestors have worked at. If they
have only ever worked in one area that that is the area I will
cover, but if they have worked over the country, or it's a small
profession, then I'll try to cover as much of the country as I
can. The
professions that I will be trying to cover are:
- Tobacco Pipe Maker - Completed
- Butcher - Completed for Liverpool
- Joiner
- Customs Officer
- Waterman
- Wheelwright
- Gardener - In Progress
- Taverns & Landlords - In Progress
If you would like me to cover an occupation then feel free to
drop me a line using the Contact page
or the
Message Board I have found a large collection of Latin
related material on the Internet (thanks to the White Trash
Scriptorium for making this available in the public domain)

Liverpool Poll Book of 1832
(Waiting for Permission to reproduce)
- Description of
the Poll Book
- Votes
from the Poll Book (17Mb Page)
|
The Poll Book for the election
of members of Parliament for the Borough of Liverpool was one of
many produced throughout the country in an apparent act of
celebration of the emancipation the 1832 act had brought about.
This went so far as to publish how each person voted, there
being no attempt at secrecy as is the case today. From this, if
you are lucky enough to find an ancestor listed, you will also
be able to discover his political viewpoint. The Burgesses and
Freemen are also identified in the Status column, (BGM/FMN).
I am grateful to Mr Martin
Slater who transcribed and indexed the contents of this page, and also to the original Authors of
the Poll Book, "The Worshipful Charles Horsfall Esq, Mayor,
James Aspinall & Robertson Gladstone Esqrs. Bailiffs". Printed
by J. & J. Mawdsley (Successors to J.Gore & Son) Castle Street,
Liverpool, 1833.
