Cordwainer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordwainer
A cordwainer is a shoemaker who makes fine soft leather shoes and other luxury footwear articles.

Not often an English census says more than "Scotland" for POB
??? 1861 1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
29, White Lion Street, Burnley, Lancashire, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Andrew Smith Lodger Widower Male 64 1797 Cordwainer Scotland

He is lodging at the address but there are other Smith's there, so will try and find a transcription for them

Hi..wondering if an y one can tell me where in scotland the above man was born.
He was living in Burnley lancashire in 1841 but down as Andrew smets?
Age 40 with wife Elizabeth also aged 40.
Think he was living on Albion street Burnley on the 1861 census...neighbour to daughter Margaret who had married John Walsh.
Could anyone see him on the 1851 in Burnley...Think would be down as Smith.
Thanks
Shirley :-)
