Without seeing the entry it could just be simply a Silk Polisher and refer to the fact he worked in a factory.

It could be Silk Plusher.
Grinder, plush grinder, silk plush grinder; silk plush shearer; a cropper who crops surface of plush piece goods.

Hi Chuter,

The file is showing 0kg so there is no content  I would give it a try again take your original image and crop the part again and save as a different title.

I don't know if this applied to silk but there is a:
Polisher, yarn polisher; polisher winder; attends yarn polishing machine.

Hi

If your question hasn't been answered by the suggestions, you need to go back to the 1911 census 'snippet'(don't post the whole page), and re-save it to your computer with a different name and attach it again by clicking on the modify button and editing your post.

I can delete the faulty attachment if you like.
