Occupations

[gnorman]

Hi, can anybody make out these occupations from the 1901 Census please?
The ones I need are the second one down and then the following three occupations after the gap. I wondered if the first two of these might be Navvy or Navy?
Thanks, Luke

Navvy
Navvy
Doubler in cotton mill
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_Spinners_and_Doublers

The last one looks like XXXX - 'up'

From this
https://www.familyresearcher.co.uk/glossary/Dictionary-of-Old-Occupations-Index.html#Old-Occupations-P

There are three occupations that have an 'up' in them.  Whether any of these is the occupation you are seeking is unknown

Baller up
Holder up
Pinner up.

I have had success using edting tools to remove/lighten the crossings out to reveal the words beneath. 

ETA actually it looks like Stand up (Paper Mill)

Agree the first two are Navvy. Then "Doubler ( cotton mill)" and "?- up (paper mill)"

[gnorman]

Thank you both so much, I've no idea why they had to cross them out so thoroughly.

The 1901 paper making occupations can be found here:

https://archive.org/details/census-of-england-and-wales-1901.-instructions-for-classifying-occupations/page/96/mode/2up?view=theater

I found that link at http://doot.spub.co.uk/ - this site is mainly a transcription of the occupations found in the 1921 census, with descriptions of what they entailed, but there are links at the bottom of the home page to similar lists from other years.

Thank you ArthurK, always good to have a better understanding : )

Could some kind person help me decipher Robert Thomas' occupation at Schedule 58, Garth, Carreghofa, Mortgomeryshire, Wales at RG9/4261 or Ancestry https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/8768/images/MGYRG9_4259_4262-0379?pId=15387474 ? The first words, which are in English, are "Parish Clerk &" but then we have "An' xxxxx"

In anticiation, many thanks

Best

John

According to the children's baptisms, he was a schoolmaster.

Thanks, Shaun. So, the words after Parish Clerk are school teacher (in Welsh?)
