Hi Everyone,
Was this common practice throughout the UK, or just Scotland? Or was it just for the purposes of the census?
Also regarding professions on 1841 Scottish census, I have an ancestor who is stated as fisherman on his daughters marriage notice, and what looks like "Mer S" on the census. Would this be merchant seaman? And what does "F S" mean? I assumed it means they were workers for the family, maids etc
Thanks,
Craig
