There are plenty of the more mundane like farmer, collier; flax worker etc. In all they seem to have come from or gone into a very varied set of occupations.

TO ALL My greatgranduncle was a Metropolitan Police of officer of Manhattan NY, who died in 1886 at age 30. My father was a Jersey City Police Officer 1940-1970. I was also a Jersey City Police officer 1965-1990. It seem the our ancestors effect us more than we may know.
