Title: Scotland Electoral Roll 1832
Post by: Charlie24 on Friday 29 November 24 05:16 GMT (UK)

I was looking up a Scotish electoral register from around 1832 and against the column” Calling" it had the initial W.S.  Some names had their profession, but a few just had W.S.
I can’t work out what it means I have tried looking on line but no Luck.
Any ideas ?

It was on Ancestry in the Poll Books for Alexander Dallas 1832.
