William BROWN in Melrose
« on: Tuesday 08 January 08 22:25 GMT (UK) »

1851 Census  High Street,Melrose

WILLIAM BROWN     38   Drayman   Roxburghshire Jedburgh
AGNES BROWN        36     wife               Roxburghshire Melrose
GEORGE  BROWN          13      son           Roxburghshire Melrose
JOHN BROWN           8        Son              Roxburghshire  Melrose
JANET BROWN          7      Daughter       Roxburghshire  Melrose
AGNES BROWN        3      Daughter       Roxburghshire  Melrose

A Drayman was someone who drove a large horse drawn cart. The term is one I associate with carrying large beer barrels.
