The Turek family register gives Gedalia's profession as "weaver". However, Pessa's birth akta from Sompolno (1848) is more descriptive: "fabrikant wyrobów bawełnianych", i.e. owner of a factory that produced cotton goods. In the UK, he worked as a collector for a Friendly Society (which one is not known).
