Profession on 1901 census
« on: Sunday 01 December 24 22:25 GMT (UK) »
Researching the family of my mum's friend I am unable to decipher what John Boucher's job was on the 1901 census (see clipping attached). And that of his wife Frances I think it says book folder but what is the other word writen in at the end. Can anyone work out what they say?

Cabman, that would make sense, thank you.

Frances' job is book golder I think...perhaps painted on the gold on the page edges.  The added word is 'painter'

The clip from deejayEn is RG13/142/92 pg 52 -  I think it says "Book folder" and "Binder" is added.

A similar entry 2 pages later for Frances BONESS:
RG13/142/93 pg54

I agree that the occupation is book folder.
The word binder is in different handwriting and has been added at a later date by someone classifying occupations.

I agree with shanreagh with book golder - enlarging the image it seems more like a 'g' rather than a 'f'.
