Help reading occupation COMPLETED

Hi
I was hoping someone could help me out with these two occupations of Evan and Robert. I thought Roberts could be Carters Lad but have no idea what Evan's is.
Many thanks

no worries, found it ...
agree that Robert is a Carters Lad (the analysis clerks have noted CARM - Carman)
Evan is some sort of Hawker - own a/c, self-employed that is.....

Thanks Past Master
I couldn't make out the Hawker, and Own Accord threw me too. Am getting somewhere now thanks to you.
But I'm still curious, do you think the first letter is a T ? Maybe it's abbreviated??? My inexperienced guess would be T'yut
Evan (my gt grandfather) was a general labourer in 1911 which doesnt give any clues.

T or H - but the 'C' of the added 'Carm' confuses the picture ...... a Hawker peddled his wares around, so could have been flogging anything !

After looking again I agree with the 'carm' problem and the possible H.
Thanks very much for your help

Hi
I think his occupation is a Fruit Hawker.
(Ref
1901
RG13/3407/16/24)
The below is on the next page, where you can see a Foundry (Iron) Labourer and another Fruit Saleswoman.
Cheers
Koromo
