Number 65 Dale Street is obviously a house of multiple occupation and could therefore be a tenement. The Sinclair household have 3 rooms "with one or more windows". John is head of the household, is a "Slater" by trade and was born in Kilbrandon parish, Argyll. Catherine was born at Dalcross, (Croy & Dalcross parish), Inverness. The couple have two children so far: John (age 4) and Gavin McMurchie (age 2 months), both born in Glasgow. The household is also recorded as having a lodger and a visitor at the time of the census: Caithness-born George Swanson and Alexandrina Swanson (who is presumably George's mother or aunt). George is a master jeweller employing two boys.
