Occupation question
« on: Friday 05 April 13 01:01 BST (UK) »
I have been going through the 1891 census on Ancestry and came across one with my Great-Great Grandfather James Scott (birth abt 1856).  His occupation is listed as "Lordyman".  I have not seen this occupation anywhere else and tried the link someone had on another board about occupations but this was not listed there. Does it mean what I think???..would he have been the landlord and owned the property?  As of his marriage in 1879 he was listed as a farm servant. I wouldn't think he would have managed that jump in station so quickly.  The address shown is 2 Rose Lane, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire.
