....
the second word of Occupation is "child" I think  .. first word begins E? (look at Eighth)
....

It's a very strange E... but if it is, then how about Engineers Child ?

although would an engineers child end up in a workhouse ?

I'd go along with "Engineers Child"

it IS a funny "E", but if you ignore the initial upstroke, it's rather like those curly capital E's we had to do in headline copies in the 1950s!

look at some of these Edward VII postboxes, to see what I mean

Might the word over workhouse be 'march', as in the death was on eighth march?
Also, while the second word of the occupation looks like child to me, the original poster probably knows the age this person was when he died, and if he wasn't a child, is 'guild' a possible alternative word here?

In 1912, there is a 'The Mall' Lucan, which is another possibility.
