Looks like Wire Worker. Have you got him in a later census to compare occupations?

Can you give us the full census reference or at least his name and dob so we can look at the original as that often helps?

Sorry, I've attached full census for 1851 and 1861 - George Davies is the bottom of the page for both.

Thanks for your help

Well from the 1861 he was born in Essex, so I suppose that first word for his POB could be Essex in 1851 but other two definitely do look like High Labour, which doesn't really make sense.

The first census looks like machine worker so I wonder if the second census Is a shortening of machine....although it does look like wire....the ages don't seem to tally though

It could possibly be High Laver, misheard by the enumerator as High Labour

Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton

I think he's a "Wire Worker", often found in the weaving industry.

and he was born in the county of Essex, High Laver - not "Labour" whch I think is a mistranscription by the enumerator..
