Are there many or any people call Miner, Fireman, Cablelayer, Latheman
etc. I have known a few Turners but don't know if the name goes back
a long way into wooden furniture making or from later metal working.
There are some Drivers as well but would think the derivation is from
shifting livestock rather than being on the footplate of the Rocket
and subsequent locomotives.

If surnames today were dictated by the type of job you did then
Jobsworth would be no 1.

Lazy******* would be no 2.
