Number 12 Duff Street appears to be partitioned into four units with the Sinclair household having access to 2 rooms "with one or more windows". John is head of the household, is a "Slater" by trade and was born in Kilbrandon parish, Argyll. (The occupation of "Labourer" has been overwritten with "Slater" but wife Catherine is still recorded as a "Labourer's wife"). Catherine was born at Croy, (Croy & Dalcross parish), Inverness. Sons John (apprentice printer) and Gavin McMurchie were born in Glasgow (Lanarkshire) followed by Andrew Ross and twins William Duncan and Catherine Campbell who were born in Inverness. The twins are the only children shown on the family tree.
