Title: occupation details
Post by: Moonstar36 on Sunday 14 September 25 12:00 BST (UK)

I can read that the person was a Horse Driver for Public Works but not the word I have circled in yellow? Can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation!

I also think it might be carrier.

You can see that it’s in different handwriting to the rest of the census page form - its been added at a later date by someone classifying occupations for statistical purposes.
