Robert's occupation

[JenB]

Hall Would conductor electric make sense, seeing as other chappies around him were on the trams?

Being pedantic (sorry  )the next occupation after Robert’s) is coachman, overwritten ‘groom’ so he’s working with horses 

Added the word ‘electric’ appears on the first line and I don’t think it’s much like the second word in question. What looks like the cross bar of a ‘t’ in the word is actually part of the overwritten ‘CC’.

To me it looks like the enumerator started to write "Living on own means" (a common entry in this census), but then crossed out "Living", and in the reduced space available wrote Com^al or Com^cl Clerk. Subsequently, someone has overwritten/annotated it with "CC", presumably standing for commercial clerk.

The slightly-sloping upright mark at the extreme left is an annotation which appears on virtually all entries, including next to "Coachman" on the line below. Without this mark, I'd say it's hard to discern an "M".

I agree. The oblique has cut across a flourish at the start of the crossed out word which makes look like an ‘M’.
