Very true.
It's fine for a census, for example, because they generally only happen

Debbie,
I've noticed one potential problem with your solution, namely, that
you don't necessarily know that the person concerned was in that

time, Etc. So, this

Jenny,
I don't *think* what you want is possible in the way you describe.
Here's what I've done. My great-grandfather was a policeman with the
Royal Irish Constabulary. I have some citations he received and
details of where he served, so I've just created 4 separate

You can/need to use 31 March 1851 - 4 April 1853 in place of 31
March 1851 and 4 April 1853.
But that means from 31 March 1851 to 4 April 1853 which is a very

I would add two, because it you were to find another occupation between
