Hi Kiwikate,

Thanks for the info! I have managed to find the record on Scotland's People. I note that they were cousins twice removed. I haven't looked at this branch of my tree for a wee while now, so this has rekindled my curiosity! James and Isabella were my Great grandparents x 3.

Thanks again,
Meggy

Ah, thank you Stan, that's kind of what I was thinking. I never thought to use the glossary on Scotland's People  ::) I'll check there next time!

 I have come across an ancestor whose occupation was "outworker" . This was in Scotland in 1870 and a female. What would this typically be?

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Hi maddys52,

I can't for the life of me work out how to attach the snip  ??? ! However, as I've been staring at the writing, it all fell in to place...... Martin Maker is badly written and of course, is Master Baker!!

I must confess, although highly embarrassed, it did make me laugh  ;D

Shuffling off to hang my head in shame......

Thanks,
Meggy

Hi Maiden Stone, thanks for your reply.

I did wonder if it could be martingale maker. This occupation is on his son's birth certificate in 1870, however, on his wedding certificate in 1869, he gives his job as General Merchant. On the 1861 census, he is a baker apprentice, and by 1881, he was a Master Baker. This ties in with what I knew about the family. All information has come from Scotland's People.

Hello, could anyone help with this occupation please? It is the occupation (If I'm reading it correctly!) of my Gt Gt Grandfather in 1870.

Many Thanks
Meggy
