DEAR family in Hornchurch
« on: Monday 29 August 05 09:20 BST (UK) »
Hello, I'm new to this forum.  I would love to know what Hornchurch looks like.  The 'Dears' lived in High St for generations and children from all generations look like they went to London for work.  However, they wanted to be buried in Hornchurch and they also sent the odd child back to be looked after 'at home' since someone always stayed there.
 
I was surprised to find that only some of the Hornchurch records are on the IGI, so I've ordered in some LDS films since I live in NZ.

If anyone could answer this query.  William Dear christened 1771 in Hornchurch was an agricultural labourer, however, he managed to get his children into apprenticeships so that eventually they became journeymen.  How might he have been able to do this with his resources?

Agricultural Labourer, the frequently found "Ag Lab", was a catchall job description for anyone who worked on the land. Their actual job description would have changed with the seasons. Often highly-skilled in one area, they would need to be multi-skilled to fit into the farming cycle.

Most were not the "smocked yokel" of comedy.

Excellent summary here:
