My great great great grandfather lives at "Tudhorpe Place" Manse Street. I guess the Tudhorpe family were in the iron business. Not unrelatedly, my ancestor was an ironworker. I assume he lived in some Victorian tenement that the Tudhorpe family had for their workers?

You might find that Tudhorpe is a misspelling of Tudhope.

Scotland's People has 6,724 references to Tudhope and none at all to Tudhorpe.

There are 207 Tudhopes in the 1881 census. You can view the LDS transcription of this census free of charge at Scotland's People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
