Not from the 1911 census but the 1861 one - occupation "sick in bed".  Someone had then crossed that out and written in a more suitable occupation (not sure what it was exactly) but a proper occupation, possibly a weaver!

Not as interesting as the above, but one of my relies next door neighbour in quite a posh area is listed as a proffessional billiard player. Not Steve Davis though.

Ah, dearie me!  Have just got back from a bit of family history hunting in deepest Cambs, have clicked onto this thread, and haven't had such a good laugh for ages!
Well done with them all, keep them flooding in, don't have any guilty feelings about mis-spent leisure time, please...
