And your Great Grandparents....AND what do you do? I'm just interested in the journeys...and I know this isn't really an AIBU but hey...there are more people here!
Here are mine....
Maternal Grandfather: Steelworker
Maternal Grandmother: Cleaner
Paternal Grandfather: Steelworker
Paternal Grandmother: Waitress
Great Maternal Grandfather: Boilermaker/Steelworker
Great Maternal Grandmother: Maid in a private house
Great Paternal Grandfather: Docker
Great Paternal Grandmother: Cleaner
Me: Actor and copywriter
I want to see other people's lists if possible...I find it fascinating that such a short time ago, some of my relatives couldn't write...a couple of those listed signed their marriage certificates with an X and beside that, the Registrar had written "Her mark".
It seems so strange...so few years have passed but so much social change has gone on. What will OUR great grandchildren see when they look at our records?
