Occupation unclear

[Joyful]

   
    I need help deciphering this occupation please.
   
    It is taken from the 1871 census for Lancashire Yorkshire & Durham Part E

   Pg 2.

Taken literally it looks like Cuniel - you can see the dot on the i. Though I did wonder about Pumice even though the first letter doesn't look like a P.

Any chance of the full census refernce so we can compare writing elsewhere? I don't know how to find the page with the info given so far I'm afraid.

I don't have access to the census so could you give a little info about the gender/age of the person?  Could it be 'Anniu' for annuitant (?sp) i.e. someone in receipt of an annuity/pension?

Could it possibly be CURRIER?

Currying was the name given to the process of stretching and finishing tanned leather before passing it on to a saddler or cobbler.

The Census Reference should be RG10; Piece: xxxx; Folio: xx; Page: xx
Lancashire Yorkshire & Durham Part E is not correct

Thanks Stan, I am transcribing and they are the only details on the census form.

There is NO folio number on the form only the page number.

I apologise if that information is not correct but it's all I have.

As you don't have a census ref can you please give us the name and birthplace of the person, and the address (town/parish etc.)?

Surely the first letter has to be a "C". I've looked at every reference I can find on the web and currier is the only occupation remotely resembling the image.
