I have a note of the following from the 1891 census for Perth which may
be of interest to you.

175 South Street

JAMES CAMERON HEAD 49 CARTER (EMPLOYED) PERTHSHIRE PERTH
ANN CAMERON WIFE 48 " "
CATHERINE
CAMERON DAU 17 FACTORY WORKER " "
JESSIE
CAMERON DAU 8 SCHOLAR " "

I had originally noted this as I was looking for my gt.grandparents Hugh
Birrell and Ann Cameron her father was John and had a brother James but
they were from Little Dunkeld in Perthshire. 175 South Street was the
address of a William Birrell (no connection so far) from 1893 to 1896.
