What did your grandparents do work wise?

[JaceLancs]

Inspired by a previous thread - if you know that is
GM 1 deputy head of my old high school
GF 1 civil servant (fairly high up)
GM 2 bar maid
GF 2 chauffeur

Farmers , both sides .

My grandad wrote a newspaper column and my grandma was a photographic artist tuening Black and white pictures into colour.

Gf merchant navy
Gm WAF then a toy store

Teachers
Nurse
Engineer

Charge nurse
Carer
Police officer
And I believe my other grandmother didn’t work.

This sounds like one of those threads that's designed to weed out people you might know.

On that basis, my grandfather was a circus performer and my grandmother was a witch.

Granddad was a borough market boy.

My dads parents I don’t know as my dad died when I was little

Mum's side: ran a pub.

Dad's side: GM was a baker (or whatever the "proper" term is); GF was an engineer in the navy, I think.

Paternal grandparents were both in service. Maternal grandparents - GF worked in catering and GM worked in her grandmother's tailoring business.

Maternal Grandparents first had a bakery and then turned to making fudge and selling it at county shows.

Paternal Grandmother never formally worked but volunteered.
Grandfather was in the Navy.

Maternal GF Printer

Paternal GM & GF had a textiles business

Maternal:
Grandad was a university professor
Granny was a factory worker then a SAHM and later worked part-time in a chemist when her DC had grown-up.

Paternal:
Grandad worked for the council as a maintenance man.
Gran was always a SAHM (she had 12 children, so fair enough! )

Both Grandfathers worked in factories. Don't think maternal Grandmother ever worked. Paternal Grandmother did all sorts of bits and bobs, worked in a tannery, was an office cleaner in the evenings, owned a shop for a little while.

On DM’s side, Taid was a carpenter and Nain was a book-keeper, which she taught herself to do so she could work when DM and my aunts has started school.
