I have come across a relation who as his occupation on the 1911 census has entered "Farmer and Buller". What is the occupation of Buller? Peter Furney

This was certainly a way to make money in the agricultural areas of Northern California and I expect that it wasn't any different in Ireland. rich -- Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as Gods.

Well in actual fact it would be the Bull who was doing all the work and he owned the bull. So this would have been a bull which if you were lucky enough to be able to look at some older newspapers, would have been adertised for his works, ( cant think of the official wording) so yes he owned a prized well bred bull and put it out to work. Very interesting some of these old jobs that are being found in the census.
