I have one that I have zero idea what it actually was.
In an 1851 Scotland census, Stonehouse, Kincardineshire-born Peter Chapman (20), was enumerated as being employed in Stayslop Mannfacture*. * This is how it was spelt. I have no idea what this occupation was. It has no relationship to anything similarly named in the 2020s. (Obviously the "Mannfacture" should be "manufacture".)
I saw the image. I figured whoever wrote it had no idea, so just wrote down what they thought they heard.
