Occupation

[Frances Pawley]

Can anyone tell me please what occupation a Sawyer is? Thankyou.

Hi Frances :)

Sawyer = Timber mill/pit worker, sawing timber

This is a useful link for occupations ( and other things too )

Sawyer also used here in Devon for the same sort of job but cutting stone or marble rather than timber
