A couple more I found:

A chauffeur in Group 34
A fitter and turner in Group 26

Okay Phil.

That is looking good.

So where do we find an original army list of groups then.

Morning Phil

I see the "Oracle" was about yet he hasn't given us his ideas 

Being an ex  Northampton Man I thought it would have been right up his street. 

How about calling him over for his advice.

Evening Sandy,

I may (probably am ) be wrong.

They may be Derby Scheme groups, with those that don't fit (46+), being typos etc.

I've just looked at Alan's introduction and see that it was drawn up at the beginning of 1916, which convinces me that Answer 2 is probably closer to the mark.

I wonder if there was an element of "name and shame" involved, especially as some of the names are clearly denoted as exempt, or subsequently joined up.

Evening Phil. 

It seems as though you may be getting closer to the truth.

Thank you for your input.

It is much appreciated.

Thanks for the link, it does look like these group numbers maybe Derby scheme groups.  I have checked the two entries outside of this range of numbers to make sure that they are not typos.  I've copied the images below, perhaps they were entered in error on the Roll?

Thank you Alan for yet another brilliant resource for Northamptonshire Folk and others.

Phil it is looking more likely your theory was correct on them being Derby Scheme Groups.
