Ag. Lab (Agricultural Labourer)
Friends of ours tell of a man who, when he traced his ancestors back to Ag. Lab on census, slammed the family history book shut never to be opened again!! Anyone who has watched the Tudor farming series Tales From The Green Valley would be happy with Ag. Lab
Nor will the brilliant Online Exhibition at 'Museum English Rural Life' disappoint. www.ruralhistory.org
**Note: To get the best out of this site, strictly double click on underlined items and single click on pictures to open. The Catalogues are not dreary lists, but actual pictures, photos, sketches and should be opened
(Spotted one Black Country name in the Catalogue of Photographs.)
