Aberdeenshire / Erm, is this bizarre? 1861 Fraserburgh Census question
« on: Monday 13 April 15 23:35 BST (UK)  »
I am attaching a crop of an image to illustrate my question. It comes from the 1861 Census for Fraserburgh. You will note the , perhaps familiar, Braeheads, but also "John Nobles Lane" Now I have a John Noble (Bobbins) who passed away in 1865, married to an Ann Sim, resident then (1865) in Shore Street. Which appears to me to be something that Braeheads is a part of, or vice versa. I can find no evidence of a John Nobles Lane and so wonder if the enumerator spontaneously started naming rows, lanes and such after noted inhabitants (In this case for their age perhaps.)
Just above we can see "Robert Ritchie's Close", although no Robert Ritchie at the address there...
I'm lost folks ???, does anyone know the answer? Is there even a cogent question in there?  :)

warm regards to cousins, extended family, and all others,
Austin
