Q What was Thomas and James the less occuptions? At what age did Matthew and Thaddeus die?
 
A

 

I wish I had an answer to your question, however the simple truth is that, except for their names, we know next to nothing about most of the Apostles.  Many legends grew up about their lives, but these were all written at least a century after their deaths.  And we have no way of knowing what, if anything, in these stories is actually factual.  If you want to read more about the Apostles I suggest checking out http://www.12apostlesofthecatholicchurch.com/.  This site presents both the historically known facts about The Twelve as well as the various legends that surround each one.
