What was the job of your grandmother?

My grandmothers were nowhere near as grand as some of the posts. My maternal grandmother left school at 13 and went straight into service, starting work at 5am until late then at 16 she married my grandfather. After his death she got a job as a dinner lady in the local school where she worked until she retired. My paternal grandmother was a rag sorter which reminds me very much of Dickens Christmas Carol when the housekeeper sells his bed curtains.

My maternal grandmother worked in service before her marriage to my granddad. As far as I know she was a housewife and mother after that, who was a skilled seamstress, making all my mother's clothes. Sadly she died when my mother was a teenager leaving my mum looking after her poorly father and her baby brother, with her aunt's help. My granddad remarried and my step grandma later ran a corner shop and off licence which my grandad bought for them while he worked as a driving instructor after leaving his work as a weaver in a cotton mill.
I don't know if my paternal grandmother worked. She died when I was 3 and I don't remember being told much about her. Most of what I know came from my mum and I don't think they had a particularly good relationship so my opinions of her are rather negative.

My maternal grandma was used to be the maid of her ageing widowed father until my grandfather literally snatched her from when she was walking back from washing something down the river and took her to his home. She never returned and stayed with him, marrying due to honour and all that. She worked in a factory.

The other was a maid initially to her very rich noble Mistress who educated her and saved all her salary and gave it to her as a form of a dowry. Later on she was trained from scratch to be a surgeon's nurse right hand and served her local community as a nurse, midwife, librarian and just before retiring did some factory work also

I don't believe either of my Grandmothers officially worked (for money) before they married but I do know one was a keen amateur photographer, making her own camera and developing her photos, until her dark room became a pantry when the kids started arriving, after she married. The other probably helped her widowed mother look after the boarders, along with sewing. Both would have left school around 12 to 14 years old, as did my mother at 14, (she worked in a shop and later became a TB Nurse before marriage).
One of my Gt Gt Gt Grandmothers was still working on a farm in her 80s when she slipped on ice and drowned in a stream, and I believe she had done similar work all her life, particularly after her husband was shipped off to Australia. She probably didn't attend school at all. I know she was illiterate.

I do know one of my Gt Grandfathers was working away, in a stables at the age of 12.
