They would be useless as enumerators otherwise, especially at a time when many of the population could NOT read and write. I read that the early Scottish enumerators were often the local schoolteachers or clergy, since they could read and write.

Where did you come across that fact? I find it very hard to believe that they could not read or write. Everything I have read leads me to believe that they indeed could read and write, if not how do we have anything intelligent from that era. Even today when reading one might question whether a person can actually write!! Just asking.
