    Notes:

    Occupation:
    It's interesting to see that Agnes is 'living on her own means,' a term that in the 1891 Census was applied to her mother and is not. in this Census in 1901.

    'Living on own means' was an ambiguous term at this period. One definition was someone with an independent income. Another was someone who was not reliant on Parish Poor Relief. Since neither Agnes nor her mother Elizabeth has any other recorded occupation to provide an income AND they can afford to employed a maid we can safely assume they have some form of private income.

    Perhaps this income is derived from Agnes's father, Fairfield Scott who, at one stage was employing several men so clearly had some form of business which could have yielded some savings.
