This register covers the entire period of WWI and allows a fascinating insight into some of the tumultuous changes taking place in both society as a whole and within this small, local community of Jews of Dutch descent.\u00a0In this register the majority of grooms are described by their military position and\/or ranking, sometimes their previous occupation is listed in brackets afterwards. For example Woolf Willie Assenheim who married Leah Worms on 14th August 1916 is listed in the occupation column of the register as \u2018Private A.S.C\u2019 (Fish Curer). There are also several munitions workers and inspectors listed, who presumably would have had a different occupation prior to and after the war.\u00a0In this register we start to see many women taking on previously male dominated occupations such as cigar workers, cigarette packers, tailors and machinists. The number of women working in these trades peaks in the following register, which covers the four-year period immediately after WWI.<\/p>\n
