  • another occupation quiz

    W C Veale, age 32, born Devon, in the 1861 census, in Bristol (with wife C, children W C B, & Alfred)

    What's his occupation?
    District Manager of Friendly Society? I'm not sure of the "District"?

    What's a Friendly Society?

    Thanks,
    Sarah

      It would make sense. Later he was in insurance.

        Same thing, more or less. Many insurance companies started as friendly societies.
