Not to worry, I was hoping that it would give either Carpenter or Cabinet Maker as John's occupation, no such luck!

This looks like John Totty Mayo in 1851:

Can you see if you can find this census and see if there is anybody else in the same household please?
 (I think an....ry has him recorded as John Potley Mayo)

On ancestry it's only John Potley or Polly ... hard to tell but looks like it starts with a P and Mary they are in an almshouse and he is a shoemaker?

Transcription says New York Wiltshire :-). But the written is hard to read as it has a bit of a line through it. But it looks nothing like Wiltshire
