Title: Cant make out the occupation?
Post by: mr angry on Friday 18 November 22 12:43 GMT (UK)

Hi, hope that someone can help me understand what this occupation is meant to be.
Its from the 1901 census, does it say 'printer'?
Thanks in advance for any help  :)

'Printer'
An uncrossed 't' at the end.

I agree, printer.  In 1911 he has changed his occupation to Barman in a public house.  Same man as he has his full name of Cyrus Ridley Wilson on the original.
