* James Bennett may have worked in the pottery. The census lists him as a Printer (no mention of Pottery) but when he died in 1860,
Potter was the occupation on his death certificate.

Summary:

Earthenware Manufacturer: James Jamieson


Including James, and counting only those entries in the census that specifically mention the pottery industry in the occupation …

A total of 106 people were employed in the pottery, 81 men and 25 woman.
