Johann initially worked as a tinsmith in his own business, having a workshop on his Kermode Street property from 1848 - 1852. In 1860 he joined the SA Railways as a tin plate worker and, apart from a break between August 1863 and April 1864, worked for them at teh Adelaide Construction Department until his retirement on 4 August 1888 at the age of 76.  
As with many married women in the 19th century, Anna did not undertake formal employment or follow a profession. Her husband Johann's employment brought enough income to the household that Anna was not moved to work for economic reasons, and she also was responsible for 3 young children.
