see this thread

Thanks a lot to all who commented, I actually found his death certificate which has him as a 'scavanger' google tells me this was another name for a street cleaner, which aligns with the above thread's definition of a statue labourer.

You guys are awesome :)

Statute Labourer

That is what it looks like but google returned 0 results for the occupation so I was quite unsure tbh - do you have any more info / have you came across this before?

Can you provide the census reference please?  Or the census year and place.  I assume that Thomas Flynn is the name that we can see.

No cencus, its a scottish Marraige record from 1873, Scotland People ref: 644 / 2 / 530

Here is the whole record..

Thanks all for your input, it is indeed the groom's home. I wasnt aware marraiges took place at home during this time period. I'm still curious what specific church they belonged to so will have to decypher and look into the minister :)
