What was the job of your grandmother?

Maternal grandmother was a switchboard operator before her marriage. Much later in her married life, when my gfather was unemployed, she worked as a cleaner. Apart from those periods she was a 'housewife'.

My paternal grandmother was a shop assistant before marriage. After that, a housewife.

I only knew my paternal grandmother was a housewife married to a miner. I have no idea if she ever worked. My father was forced to leave school at 14 so she would have left at a young age also. This was in Scotland.

I never knew my maternal grandmother. She was a farmer's wife and had 8 children, one of whom died around 2. She died at a young age also. This was in Southern Ireland.

My maternal grandmother was a professional pianist. Her husband left her when the children were quite young. At one stage, she owned a sweet shop in the Lake District, but it didn't do well, so she bought a house, which she rented out. She then inherited another house from her parents and lived on rental income.

My paternal grandmother was a GPO telephonist. She stopped work when she married my grandfather.

One of my grandfather's sisters went to university, which was quite unusual for a woman in those days, and was a history teacher.

Maternal grandmother a teacher, paternal a potter painter.

My maternal grandmother married very young, had three children, husband died WW1, youngest child was 2.
She married again, had two children ,died in childbirth with
my mother

Paternal grandmother, daughter of Baptist minister, she worked in the parish visiting parishioners etc . Married a
coal miner, 5 children

My maternal grandmother left school when she was 13/14 and worked in the Meccano factory in Liverpool until she married and had children, as the children grew older, she cleaned private houses for a couple of people.

My paternal grandmother left school around the same age and worked in a shop...from what I can recall, very long hours. After she married and had children, she didn't work but her health wasn't good at all.

My maternal grandma was the wife of a clergyman.
My paternal grandma was the wife of a stockbroker.
The former I guess had a "proper" job?

My maternal grandmother had 5 children and was a traditional housewife and mother - a very good one according to my own DM.

My paternal grandmother was in service. She married the master's son. He fell in love with her when he heard her singing whilst doing the dishes, or at least that is what I have been told. They were ostracised from the family for that. I never knew any of them. But I have no idea about working conditions in those days.
