Census 1880, Odense amt, Køng sogn, Gummerup, Opslag #34; Niels Nielsen, age 58 & wife Mette Marie Christensdatter, age 52
Niels is identified as a 'day laborer.' Does the occupation or title following dagleier mean agricultural worker?
Kind regards,

Niels Nielsen is Daglejer i Agerbruget - day labourer in the agriculture.
So you are right.
Ole
Mange tak!
Rog
Sorry to step in here, but would "Daglejer" mean the individual had a steady job working at a specific location day after day OR did he have to seek work each day and take whatever came his way?
Just wondering.
Hi Lynn
It might be for one day, but I think that was more often for several or many days as far as there work to do on the farms.
Ole
Hej!
Hvis det var for flere dage, så ofte med "Kost og Logi"
mvh.
