| Pembroke People, by Richard Rose.Otterquill
Books, London, 1/2001.(ISBN 0-9535542-0-1) .A detailed account of
every person who lived and worked in Pembroke and Pembroke Dock
between 1800 and 1830. A great deal is by occupation from Accountants to Wine and Spirit Merchants...Part I. gives detailed accounts of the persons and their families. There's a huge section on the Dockyard 1820 List with occupations such as messenger, joiner, etc. For instance, Gentry is an occupation as is Farmer. Part II is Anonymous to Young...these are the names of persons whose trades or occupations are not known or whose names are so common as to make a positive attribution unsafe...maiden names of women...names of children whose parents can't be identified...witnesses to weddings and misc. other persons. Both parts are in alphabetical order. The four appendix also have some wonderful statistical information. I am happy to do lookups from the book but I can't go looking for a Davies, for example, in all the occupations...people will have to be much more specific in the lookup request.
