Notes
4 occupations in category “unknown” that I cannot find (i.e. blank space, ? Or ??)
NB: If the occupation notes (non canonical) include a soldier's name, that means the spelling has been verified and is the same as the attestation papers.
Shipwrights/Shipbuilders assigned to both Wood Shipwright and Metal Shipwright. (Previously had two Shipwright categories with different numbers, changed both to match HISCO)
