Visting a very elder friend,I told her about a thread on this site unfortunate surnames & work,she said Ah old Moley the mole catcher,apparently both her cousin & uncle were mole catchers.Everyone nicknamed the uncle Moley-the strange thing is she told me Old Moley would use the dead moles for all sorts of cures for ailments (don't forget this is in living memory)she said as a child she had warts on her hands ,Moley came & rubbed the blood of dead moles into her hands.Has anyone else heard of supertitions that the mole catcher could cure ailments with the dead moles?Oh by the way she did say that all her warts went.
