Help with ancestors occupation

[MeirSoul]

Can anyone please help with deciphering what my great x4 grandfather's occupation was . This is the baptism record for his daughter Delilah Florence.  Im struggling to make out the occupation column.

Thanks

Thanks for that i was really struggling to make it out.

On the topic of Delilah she appears to of had several baptisms all in the same year but in many different places.  Does anyone know why that might be ?

I once read an article mentioning something similar, particularly in traveller families, or possibly those who lived and worked on the canals. I think one suggested explanation may have been that if they fell on hard times, they'd have a stronger claim to parish relief if they had a connection to a parish through a baptism, so the more places they had it done the better.

Yes that would actually make sense with them travelling about a lot of the time
