We had posted a link a ways back on meanings of occupations used in the earlier census. Here is a link called Big Book of Genealogy from Family Tree Forum
Here you will find not only meanings of occupations your ancestor had but also other definitions you might be confused on while just starting out on your journey.

Book Sources
Besides just getting information from family members you can always try books. This is a list that I will add too of sources where you might find that book on your family's origins.
Kindle - Do you own a Kindle? Even if you dont you can download their software for the PC and read books on your computer. Here is a list of Kindle Books about Genealogy ( the list changes and may include novels so look over the description carefully )
Alibris- This is a new or used book store online. Books range in price from $.99 an up. Some are even books from libraries. I have found some books on Irish cemeteries and some New York ones.
eBay- Great place to find old books like family bibles and other genealogy works. Just double check and make sure the book you found has the information before buying it and that it's from a reliable source.
