The moderator has put on a link to Wirksworth, which may be worth checking. www.wirksworth.org.uk.
I have to say, I have never seen an Aron's occupation of "Castrator" before.

Have checked the Wirksworth link it is brilliant
Aaron was a Bull castrator and they were all into farming, he sired 21 children but only 17 were born and 15 lived. Good job they lived on a farm, obviously food was not a problem. I have traced lots of them but still go on hoping I will find out more
Thanks
