H0101 Agricultural Labourers
Old Occupations; an insight into the harsh working and living conditions they had to endure. Census records show a large proportion of rural workers occupations are recorded as Agricultural Labourer (Ag Lab'), Farm Labourer' or Farm Servant. There are no official records before 1851. In 1834 the Poor Law was introduced to help Agricultural Labourers and to find out aspects of their lively hood (e.g. accommodation, wages, working conditions etc). However, it took about a hundred years to bring Agricultural Labourers out of poverty.
