Stange Occupations

A recent death certificate stated that the deceased's occupation was a woollen cheese winder. I thought at first my eyesight was acting up. But it was correct. After further investigation it all made sense. The yarn was wound on to cones and the cones were not as cheeses . Still to find out why they were named cheeses as they look nothing like any cheese I have ever scene. Good hunting from Scottish Genealogy Research
