Neither word is an occupation. There's been a mistake. The PP has put the townlands in again instead of the fathers' occupations.  Easier to see on the full certificate.

If you can find the 2 households in the 1911 census you should get fathers occupations from that, but I cannot immediately locate either.

Ive been able to find the family of Bernard Collins and his witness on marriage certificate Vincent Collins is in the household too and living at 11 Knocknaneen in Co. Monaghan with parents Thomas Collins, Tea Merchant,  and Catherine.

No sign of Kathleen Fox's family though. I'll keep searching
