Scotland / Re: 1841 census - what could this be: "Sp Dealer"?
« on: Saturday 08 October 22 21:33 BST (UK)  »
Thank you. 

The person I am researching lists themselves as a Spirit Dealer in the 1841 census and the 1837 Pignot commercial directory.  In a Sasine record and a legal document in my possession the same person is listed as a Sawyer.  I have no doubt that it is the same person.  I need to keep digging to see if I can find an explanation.

Thanks again,
Doug

I am waking up an old thread as my question is somewhat related to the OP's question.

Was it legal in the 1840s and 1850s for a woman in Scotland to be a Spirit Dealer?

Thank you in advance,
Doug

Thank you for your reply and explanation about 3-posts before accessing the PM system.  Thanks also for giving me a valid reason to make a second post.  Two down, one to go.

I think you are combining my post with questions about the church posted by others.  It never even occurred to me until reading the posts above that there were Anglican church records for the area around Airdrie.  To date I have not explored what information is available in church records.

I am a new member and I joined specifically to respond to this 2009 thread started by Annie65115.  Since Annie appears to still be active here I thought would send a PM to her but the board says I "am not allowed to send personal messages".  In the event that she does not see this post I would appreciate someone explaining to me how the PM system is supposed to work.

Annie, I am also a descendant of Richard and Elizabeth Taylor as outlined in Reply #3 above.  I am the great-great-grandson of John B. Taylor.  I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the Taylor family with you.

Doug L.
