Hi, Looks like Sailor.
Look for the Census before and after the year of marriage, it may be Sailor or Tailor.

certainly   ___age master

Not sure about it starting with a T. The start of Tailor is a very different shape.

Thanks for all suggestions so far. Its the final column "Rank and Profession of Father" that I'm interested in. The father is John Wilson. Joseph Wilson, the son and groom in this marriage was indeed a tailor.
