Suitable job for a 13 year old?
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? |
lol Should it be warehouseman? :D
|
Yes - they are more likely to be looking after wares than whores!
|

|
