Can anyone read occupation please

[sharpie]

After endless searching I think I have found the James Warburton that I have been searching for mispelt as Wharburton  with birthplace written by ennumerater as ? Louth which the transcriber decided was in Ireland instead of Lincs.

I now need  help seeing what his occupation is,  I can see first word is silk and last pos spinner, but  what is in the middle.
Can anyone help please.

They are living in Shipley, Yorkshire
census ref is
RG9 piece 3340 folio 87 page35

Thanks Sharpie

Hi 

Silk Comber & Spinner?

Looks good to me, Tati.

Yes, though what on earth did the enumerator write first time round before he corrected it to 'comber'

It looks like Comm.......... to me - could the enumerator have made a spelling mistake, crossed it through, then corrected it underneath - it looks like the same hand writing. 

There were lots of processes involved to get the silk from the cocoon to the reel - I have a book somewhere - in one of my many boxes (I may be decorating any time soon!!!) but other than comber, I don't know what it would be.

Thanks very much for your help, I think you may be right about the spelling correction, i had originally thought that the word comber was extra information.
