In the early 1700s (1721-1740), if a person listed
Mill of Stonehaven as his address, did this mean
that he worked there as a miller or was a tenant?
There were other families who listed the Mill of
Stonehaven as their address about this same period.

Would a person who had several wives be inclined to
name a child from a later marriage the name of a
living child from an earlier marriage?

Would it be likely for a male to become a fisherman
after living at the Mill of Stonehaven? I believe
that this particular individual may have been a
sailor prior to his living at the Mill of Stonehaven.
Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

These questions all pertain to the period 1721-1740,
and in the general area of Stonehaven.

Thanks,
