Miscellaneous Irish-Held Occupations in Huddersfield England Census Records Mid 19th Century
This section will include occupations that wouldn't be included in the "Skilled Craftsman" Category (those that might require an apprenticeship), and other jobs that fall outside the Textile Industry and Merchant category of occupations. I will be adding occupations and their descriptions to this sections as I work my way through all the census records.
