occupation details
« on: Sunday 14 September 25 12:00 BST (UK) »
I can read that the person was a Horse Driver for Public Works but not the word I have circled in yellow? Can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation!

Possibly "Carrier"  :-\
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

I also think it might be carrier.

You can see that it’s in different handwriting to the rest of the census page form - its been added at a later date by someone classifying occupations for statistical purposes.
