Thanks for that. You could be right. It would seem to make sense anyway. I'll see if a census return can shed any more light! |

There was a textile industry in Selkirk http://www.selkirk.bordernet.*co.uk/history/industrialrevolution.html (remove *) |

Thank you for the tip, I am now working my way through the results, although I'm not aware of any illustrious (!) ancestors, you never know! His name was James Smith Miller and he lived in Selkirk. That's all I know currently. Thanks again. Leigh |

One can only assume that, locally, that designation (oops!) was deemed to be sufficient by his family. Try his name in Google to see if anything comes up. |

I have a picture of a family Headstone in Scotland, which states the head of the family's name and then 'Designer' underneath. I assume that this would be his occupation, but can't quite think of what specifically, his job may have been (c.1857-1923). Any ideas? |
