By Mr William Chalmers, Minister.
"The present number of persons in this parish is 1784. There are, in this parish, 914 males, 870 females, 370 families, or householders, including cottar's widows, &c. Of these families 280 are member of the Established Church, 80 are Seceders, 10 are of the Relief Congregation.
There are 40 farmers, 10 masons, 20 wrights, 4 turners, 2 coopers, 4 millers, 182 weavers, 14 shoemakers, 10 tailors, 30 or 40 cotton spinners, 6 hat-dressers, 3 slaters, 30 day labourers, 8 distillers, 3 vintners, 1 baker and 1 butcher.
Many of the tenants, who have only small possessions, are yet poorly accommodated as to lodging. This is partly their own fault; for, they certainly might, with a good deal of trouble, but without much expense, render their little habitations much more comfortable than they generally are. Numbers of them live together in small villages, in smoky damp houses, built of turf and stone, and thatched with straw or heath."
