In tracing my family tree, I found a branch that went back to a small town in Scotland, and at least 3-4 generations back were shoemakers. When did my forefather leave the family trade? Circa 1850, when the Industrial Revolution apparently hit shoemaking hard.
He ended up keeper of a coffee shop in Glasgow, and his daughter was on a ship to Australia in 1891.
