Kincardineshire / Catterline Village - 1841 Census
« on: Monday 12 March 07 22:04 GMT (UK)  »
Thought it might be worth posting that there is a transcript of the 1841 Census for the Village of Catterline on website http://www.gillo.co.uk.  This has been done as part of my personal research and I hope to get additional years done in due course. 

I thought it just might be of interest to someone out there!

Occupation Interests / Re: What is the most interesting occupation in you family tree?

Think my favourite is my great grandfather, who ran the horsebus in Auchenblae, Kincardineshire in the late 1800s... in his will, he left "one horse (aged)" - aw!



My g-g-g-g-g grandfather was a Master Coppersmith in late 18th century Leith, and I recently tracked down the inventory of his estate.  It has several fascinating pages of debtors, amongst whom was King George - I hope he coughed up the three shillings he owed.  (Then again, think of the interest I could claim if the debt's still outstanding....!!!)

Good question - interesting answers.  Cheers!
