Ross & Cromarty / Census 1851 - occupation
« 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
