Christian Moffat

 Would like any information on my GGG Grandmother Christian MOFFAT (Fraser)

She is on the 1841 Census  Robertson Street - Glasgow

Robertson Street

Christian MOFFAT  64  manager (my GGG Grandmother)  What would manager mean?
Mary FLEMING  35  Draper    (her daughter)
Isabella Morrison  30 ?
Andrew Moffat   22   (her son)
George FLEMING  12  (her grandson)
William FLEMING  10 ( her grandson)

She is not on the 1851 Census so she may have died there. It would appear she was a widow as no mention of her husband William MOFFAT.

Any information would be very much appreciated

Is this from the original or from a transcription? If the latter, suggest you check the original to see whether 'manager' is a correct transcription.

I was sent this information and was typed as transcribed. I have asked the person to check the original for me.

I had a look on http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl and it does transcribe it as 'Manager'. However it also transcribes her name as 'Cristain' so at least one of the transcriptions has at least one error in it!

Incidentally, one two of the transcriptions that I saw had Christian as a male.

Just noticed that the one on Freecen is also down as male, so that's three transcriptions. I think the original should be consulted.

Thank you both for pointing this out to me.

I believe the original is on Scotlands People so, when I get some credit, I'll check it. It is inevitable there will be spelling mistakes.
