Gas maker at gas works

    Tonight while looking on the 1911 census I came across a distant relative of my husbands who said he was
    a "Gas maker in gas works at Lord Rayleighs, Terling, Place" ? Now I knew that Terling Place was the original dairy farm for Lord Rayleighs dairies and quite a few of hubbies relatives have worked there. But this had me stumped, why would someone be making GAS on a dairy farm.
    Then I looked at the excellent link to the Index of old occupations shared by RosemaryC and all became clear, I quote;
    Brilliant, thank you so much Rosemary C I would never have thought of that use :)
