Hope the image has attached ok!

From the original: Innkeeper and proprietor of Houses and Land.

It runs into the birthplace (“Birmingham, Warwicksh”).

The important things are just the piece, folio and page numbers
So the reference is RG 9 / 2116/ 63/ 16 (RG 9 is the number for the 1861 census)

Agree with avm and BB 'Innkeeper and proprietor of Houses and land'
