That's frustrating Choccy!

I don't have one ag lab in my tree (so far!). I'm really disappointed!

My OH's family is almost entirely Ag Labs (no rich farmers so far). Mine are all coal miners or fishermen/boat builders, so they are mostly on vessels during census taking!

It was a bit sad round the edges though. He got back to poor relatives on both sides but didn't go back any further which I thought a bit odd.

I know with my OH's tree that one line is ag labs for about 4/5 generations and then we come across a farmer with 300 acres. Just his luck he was descended from a younger son of a younger son. But, I think if you go back far enough you quite often find a "bit" of money!
