Agree general teacher an error, as he came from a long list of miners couldn't figure the teacher
thing out.
OPR 1852/53 James Martin is a child of 8 who died of scarlatina.
Listed 1841 as agricultural labourer and 1851 as pauper (stone breaker) both at Knockshoggle
Holm, Coylton.
Must have died between 1851 and 1861 as recorded as deceased on son George's death and
also wife Elisabeth was widow on her death in 1867 at Dreghorn.
Even if he is recorded as a pauper in 1851 there should be a record of his death somewhere?
Was there a poorhouse in that area at that time?
