Hello, I am struggling to make out the occupation on this Census. I think i might need to see the optician.

All the other occupants on the same page are Farmers or Crofters. But this looks different.

Could I possibly have found someone in my tree that is not a Farmer, General Labourer, or Servant !!! 

The suspense is killing me! 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Nic
