Hi Renard and welcome.
Good to have you on the Board.

Things didn't always work out right for the expected 'son and heir,'  either.
I have one who married the wrong girl, upset his widowed mother by committing such a dreadful outrage and was cut out of the will entirely. He and his wife 'died paupers.'

I hope they were happy, they deserved some compensation.

Wattcher Rabbit, should have known it was you...

Hiya, Paula,

I should have welcomed Renard too!  So Sorry, I did not mean to be rude and ignore you!  Welcome to Rootschat!

I have yet to find my Irish Grandad who was a groom, and came from a long line of horsemen so I am told!  I have yet to prove that!

Re your relis it is amazing what comes to light when you 'dig and delve' a little!

Dig? Dig?
Not in the stuff one of my rellies was concerned with.
I don't seem to be able to 'dig up' any decent ag labs, mine seem to be all Preacher men woodworkers and tailors.

No ag labs...
Swap anyone a Preacher for an ag lab....any offers?

fairly common when there were several sons as the eldest would inherit everything

One part of my ancestry has been traced back to 1360 (that is 16 generations)  and until 1554 we were doing well, owning manor houses etc.  Then the one born in 1554 was robbed of his inheritance by his uncle after his parents died.  Nevertheless he married into money and had sons of his own.  Unfortunately, at this point, my ancester was only the 6th son and it was the eldest  who inherited the manor house and became Lord of the Manor and was granted arms by the College of Arms London, whilst my ancestor and his descendants became ag.labs.  

It is because the family was rich and influential that is has been possible to trace it so far back.  I wonder what the very rich ones would have thought if they'd known that by the middle of the 1700s, their ancestors would be ag labs and by the middle of the 1800s, were living in very poor conditions in Hull and similar places working as labourers, blacksmiths and trawlermen.

A most interesting thread.

Have just checked on the one Ag Lab I have in my tree -  my 4 x Gt.Grandpa.

He died in 1887 - age 87 - all that fresh-air and hard work did him no harm........

Several, if not all, of my ag. labs lived to a ripe old age too ...

as you say, its a good advert for fresh air, hard work and simple food ...
