Summary:

Earthenware Manufacturer ~ Employing 131 Males and 104 Females: John Marshall

 
 

Although the size of the workforce is recorded in John Marshall's census entry, the census appears to tell a different story and I have been unable to find similar figures.  Including John, and counting only those entries in the census that specifically mention the pottery industry in the occupation …
 
A total of 148 people were employed in the pottery, 98 men and 50 women.
