« on: Tuesday 11 April 23 23:40 BST (UK)  »
On census 1851
I have this occupation listed for one of the ancestor:
Captain Kenneth MacLennan-
Farmer of 3 acres and ship owner.

I wanted to know if at the time it was considered poor or wealthy. Also I am confused with the difference between crofter and farmer.
Thank you in advance

One of the ancestor I am studying is likely to have studied at Hartley House in London in early 1900

- The Hartley house  (other name is East London Mission Institute)  was  founded by Henry Grattan Guinness to train missionnaries.

I am looking for information and hints on how to access their archivals records (rolls and photo)  and also the actual location. I need to confirm this ancestor indeed attended the school and the dates ..
