Suitable job for a 13 year old?

[Shona]

Came across this 1841 census record in Glasgow:

Stobcross Street, Finiston Road

Samson Auston, 40, whore house man, born England
Sarah Auston, 35, born England
John Auston, 15, whore house man, born England
Samuel Auston, 13, whore house man, born England
Samson Auston, 12, potter's apprentice, born England
Kathan Auston, 10, born England
Sarah Auston, 8, born England
N K Auston, 1 month, born Ireland
Ralph Adams, 20, potter, born England

I wonder if Samson, John and Samuel described their occupations in this way or whether it was the enumerator's interpretation?

[Shona]

Yes - they are more likely to be looking after wares than whores!

[Merry]

Yes, let's hope so!!!! :d
