GEN10,
Have to disagree! Sorry!
If the word were married (or an abbreviation thereof), the obvious thing to do would be to alter the 'U' entry in the (next) marital status column!
A scoring through usually applies to something which might well be of interest to us as genealogists but which is not supposed to be recorded in the relevant column in the census e.g. Pauper after "Widow' in the marital status column (as has very clearly been scored through for Elizabeth) or (possibly) Pauper in the relationship column (as has much less clearly been scored through for Mary).
I am confident that the word is 'Pauper' - but, of course, I cannot be not absolutely certain.
But do note that the scribing of the first letter is definitely nothing like the scribing of the 'M' in Mary, Masson or Margaret ...
Regards,
JAP

Hi
Also appears the Enumerator has crossed through Marys age and written a 3 above........

Ysabeau
I hadn't noticed that (mea culpa) but actually it seems to have been scored through by the enumerator (not someone else as per the other markings) and it is 31 (not 3) which is written above the initial (crossed through) entry of 26. Which would be entirely appropriate if Mary is the one bap Sept 1819.

PS: While Pauper shouldn't have been entered in the marital status column (for Elizabeth) or relationship column (for Mary), it would have a definite meaning i.e. supported by the parish. So perhaps Elizabeth and Mary were supported by the parish but Catherine was not (perhaps because the fathers of her children acknowledged responsibility and provided - either voluntarily or were made to provide - support for her and the child each had fathered; Kirk Session records or Poor Law records might help?)

Hi Girls,
I think the squiggle after daughter, is,
in law, and he then realised that in fact, she was "daughter"

Hi Ysabeau,
So by 1861 mother Elizabeth has died in 1859, and daughter Catherine WILLIAMS is with her two children George and Margaret (presumably George MASSON and Margaret BRUCE). That leaves daughter Mary WILLIAMS, grandson William REID and the unbaptized grandson.
I'm not clear whether you know anything more about any of them but I guess one or even all might not have survived until 1861? And might Mary's age have been wrongly recorded (was there any Mary WILLIAMS in the 1861 census) or might she have married by 1861. And what about William REID - do you have him in 1861?
Sorry if I've missed something ...
Cheers,
JAP
