Very true, as it could have been a nun who filled it out, and I am sure she wanted nothing to do with useless men, especially a protestant one.  :o

I have 1,2,3,4, 5, and almost a 10. but with out these we wouldn't have a history to uncover so i guess we should be grateful. and our searches would be so boaring. which reminds me of jobs in the late 1800s and no mention of these jobs in the 1891 census.

Another one that might have been included on the list is mental illness - finding someone who had been shut away in some institution is always sad :(

Five out of eleven, and three lunatics!!!

That is horrible about the church of Scotland.  Can you imagine what that must have been like? 

My mam was surprised when I found out that her parents were never married.  She was brought up strict catholic by her dad.  Her (protestant) mam died when she was 3.  I think it was probably something to do with the religion problems why they didn't actually marry.  But already being married could have been the problem, as he was nearly 20 years older than her.  So bigamy could have also been on my list.
