Dear Liz, I have a similar story to you - my Great grandmother made lace but she was born in Kirkmabreck, Scotland about 1835 and at the time of the 1851 census she was listed as a scholar aged 16. I would dearly like to know if she made lace as a living or just indulged as we do. Please, is there a Lacemakers' Census for Scotland? The two census lists of both Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire lacemakers was a talking point when I took them along to a Family History Meeting last Saturday.
Yes, we should have listened more to our elders and the stories they had to tell.
