What is fascinating in the families is the different occupations. Each family branch seems to have worked in a particular industry, because of where they lived and the jobs available in that area.
The first of these posts about occupations is Potters Gilder (or Guilder).
Gilding is the application of gold to the pottery ware. The gold applied is very thinly and usually applied on top of the glaze (which means that it can be rubbed off - so care is needed). It was classed as a skilled job and was usually done by women.
So far I have found 5 people who have at some point listed their occupation as that of Potters Gilder.
Elizabeth Baddaley (1845-1914)
Sarah Ann Hassall (1868-1951)
Elizabeth Hudson (1868-1928)
Florence Hassall (1876-1968)
Mary Maria Beardmore (1869- )
I thought it might be interesting to show how we are related:

Sarah Ann Hassall - my 2nd great aunt
William Hassall and Sarah Ann Alcock were the parents of Sarah Ann and my 2nd great grandparents
Elizabeth Hudson - my 2nd great aunt

Florence Hassall - my 2nd great aunt

William Hassall and Mary Hassall were the grandparents of Mary Maria and my 3rd great grandparents
