No job for a woman!
Rather surprised to find an 18-year-old girl on census in 1871 as a butcher! Not a family occupation. Her father was a hair dresser/cutter and her mother more traditionally a dressmaker. Strange occupation I would have thought - rather messy and hard work shifting carcasses and heaving cleavers!
