Back in time

I guess I would be a farm labourer in either Yorkshire or Lancashire, If here in Australia ,probably a convict.

150 years ago I would have been born in Wales around the Penycae area, and if my family is what I am going to base it on, I would have been 1) A soldier, 2) A coal miner or 3) An explorer alongside my family member Sir H.M Stanley, but if given a chance and a choice at that time, I would have taken option 4) Blacksmith.
Given a chance to start my current working life over again I would choose Blacksmith as well.

I am assuming that you mean BORN 150 years ago. That means I would be able to pursue my REAL interest...Engineer of a Steam Locomotive.
Second choice is one I actually did. I worked in a Blacksmith Shop for seven years. I have also done quite a bit of Hobby Blacksmithing.

I'm not really sure... 150 years ago... subtracting 150 to the year of my birth is 1834. Plus my age is 1859. Well... I would have to check out my family history but I'd probably be a good for nothing country squire. But because I am not the eledest son (my brother is) I would not inherit anything so... I'd probably be an Army Officer or a Clergiman. That was Portugal at the time... Or maybe not, maybe the clergiman might not be such a good option because of the political scene of that period. But I'm pretty sure that I would be a country squire... Definitely not working class.
