Many thanks to Christine, Fraser, Chuber, and everyone who offered definitions of the occupation of Ground Officer. I am now adding your definitions to my new Dictionary of Occupations (I need something to stop me wondering what could be so embarassing about watching the ground). If anyone has a definition of a Catachist, as noted in the Census for Sutherland, I would be pleased to know. Regards to all Denise, Sutherland, Scotland
