pmsl at Kay !!! PP was the princess Eugenie you are talking about one of Queen Victoria's daughters ?? xx

I haven't found any chimney sweeps yet but have a stonemason, who worked on the Rothchilds place in Oxfordshire? and a residence for Princess Eugenie (not Fergie and Andrew's daughter!). Would love to see if he is listed anywhere as being involved with the work. Liz

Muffy........I know who can tell you...........him from M-Poppins,,,,,,)))))

Hi Linda I know what you mean I do get bored with ag labs and labourers so tend to get a bit excited when I see something different xx

Must have been one h-ll of a job to get the clothes clean,,,,,,no Daz then,,,,,,,,,but then perhaps they never washed them,,,,,?

I was chuffed as well when I found out my Great Grandfather was a Chimney Swwep, as all others are either Ag Labs or just plain old Labs Linda

I dont know if its true or not,,,,,,but if I was the master thats what I would have done.))))))ha,,,,, Probally he was experienced in the stacks of the old grand houses where they had one for each room,?

Puss it's on my mums side and the ones that I knew were all pretty short xx

Aaaaaaa that would add up Kay as my 3x grandfather was a chimney boy in the census. Rotten wotsit sending him up there!!! lololol Thanks for that xx

i havent, i come from a long line of seaman and coal miners but ....i was thinkinking about chimney sweeps the other day and what a horrible job it must of been lol. did they have to be small people have i been reading to many fairey stories lol.

The master sent the kids up instead of himself.:))))

I've just found my first chimney sweep!!!!! LOL !!!.I'm chuffed to bits !!! Infact I have found loads !!! 3 generations of them !! lol. BUT apparently 4x GG was a master chimney sweep. Anyone come across this before ??? What's the difference between a master and a run of the mill chimney sweep ???xx
