    Perhaps some help? I'm finding it very hard to decipher a faint image, and also to work out.

    The 1841 Census is hard to read - but Thomas Douglas may have been "surgeon's assistant", and - though...

    That's great! It is interesting to trace the lives of people a century or more ago - even with the scant information from the UK Census.
