Bag Makers

    Hi There,

    I've just been looking at the 1911 census and my great great grandmother was working as a bag maker on Stafford St in Dublin.

    Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this profession or whether there may have been a particular company that employed a lot of people for this purpose.



    Thanks :)

    There's a link that might help 30min:

    I'd guess either paper bags or leather bags.
