I have come across the following occupations in the 1851 census of
Kingswood in Wilts/Gloucs:
Wool rower, wool picker, wool getter
They are not job titles that crop up in the woollen industry in the
North-west of England with which I am more familiar. Has anyone any idea
what they involved?
Peter Park, Walton on Thames, Surrey.
