Could it be that it was her husband's occupation and he was unable to work for some reason so she kept it going?

Hi all,
As far as I know 'Chimley' Sweeps came in all shapes, size and gender [tried to use the s*x word but it got xxxxxed out]. From little 7 to 12 year old boys to that lady Colette found.

PS: Chimley is a family word! One of our daughter's used it when she was a toddler and it stuck!
