Sorry, my error, Sandra, it is caixeiros, which was translated by my
translator as cashiers, which I thought was strange. I've just looked it up
again, and the translation is 'clerk' which would be the more appropriate
translation.
Warm wishes,selma

Hi Selma
Are you sure it is caxineiro and not caixeiros? In Portuguese it refers to the
people of a particular land, Caxinas, in North Portugal, who was by tradition a
fisherman community. It is not a dictionary word and it was not by that time,
as far as I know.
Best wishes
Sandra

Assunto: [GRN] caxineiros Dear members,
in a 1889 document, there is a notation of 33 Goan caxineiros in Zanzibar.
Could this word be interpreted as anything other than cashiers. It's just that
for a small community it seems an unusual number. I don't want to prompt with
what I think it may mean.
Many thanks,selma
