Title: Inmate? Glasgow St Enochs
Post by: amycargill on Tuesday 04 December 18 20:12 GMT (UK)
I have an ancestor, Ann Aitken Oswald (b abt 1766) who is listed on the 1841 census with an occupation of "P Inmate Sewer" in the Civil Parish of Glasgow St Enochs.  Can anyone tell me what she may have been an inmate of?

Thank you,
Amy

CaroleW,

Thank you. I do see an Ann Thompson in the list as well.  I wondered if it was a hospital or an asylum.

Thanks,
Amy

Your opening post says she is Ann Aitken Oswald but you now say she is Agnes Oswald??  That’s why we couldn’t find her

She’s in the same place as Ann Thomson.  If you look at the ED for Agnes it’s also Town hospital but  page 14 line 510

I'm sorry. Ann was a typo. should be Agnes.  Thank you so much for the Workhouse information. I'm sure that this is probably the place!

Unfortunately, what I can see on Ancestry does not show the image or the ED.  I wish I could see the image but when I am working on a line that is not direct I don't like to spend too many credits on Scotland's People!

Thanks!

Amy, FreeCen, transcribed by volunteers, often comes to the rescue for these early censuses.

It shows Agnes Oswald 75 - Patient Inmate Sewer b. Outside Census County (1841) Glasgow

This looks to be the ref (as mentioned earlier by Carole):

Piece: SCT1841/644 Place: Glasgow -Lanarkshire Enumeration District: 04
Civil Parish: Glasgow Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: St Enoch's
Folio: 42 Page: 1
Address: Glasgow Town's Hospital
