According to my dictionaries,
Posamentier is a lacemaker or haberdasher. Could this be it? (Posament is lace.)
Fleischer is butcher.
Viehhandler is a cattle dealer. Could this be it?
I do not find Hausirt, but I think it might be housekeeper, or a peddlar.

Handelt (verb) - he trades or deals.
Hausiert (verb) - he peddles.
hat nichts - has nothing
mit 1 Haüschen - (literally) with a little house.
I have an idea that Haüschen can also mean an outbuilding (eg outdoor loo!), depending on the context.

Hi David,
Hausirt could be Hauswirt Housekeeper, in the sense of the french Concierge. i.e. cleaned the corridors and steps of a block of flats, locked the house entrance door at nights and let people in, unlocked it in the morning, etc.
Hat nichts => Has nothing (Pauper ?)
Hope this helps,
Bob
Just seen Manchester Rambler's post.
hausiert is also a possibility !!
hausiert / hauswirt - your choice !!
can you add a bit of the image for us to look at ??

Hi All
Many thanks for you help. As Bob Suggested I have added a couple of the lines from the census. Not sure how to add image to post.
The census page have headings 1,2,3,4,5. 1 is obviously name & 5 occupation, not sure of 2,3,4 yet have emailed the person who sent them to me for info. The lines go like this.
1 2 3 4 5
Simon Wulff 140 3 1/2 Haus Fleischer
Hirsch Wulff 220 8 mit 1/2 Haus Posamenter
Leyser Wulff 210 5 Hauschen Handelt
Levin Wulff Hat nichts 5 mit nichts Fleischer
Regards
David

Hauschen could possibly be Häuschen, which would mean small house.
Would really have to see the full image to make a proper judgement though.

OK, had a look at the 2 images.
It looks like the second column is "how much money do they have". There are currencies given such as Ducats, prussian florins, and with Solomon hirsch, how much he owes.
I would say the next column is number of people in the household.
The next one is property owned. Maybe 1/2 house is referring to a semi detached house. Today people still go for "Doppelhaushälfte", basically "Half a semi detached house", literally: half a double house.
I would also suggest that Hausirt means "Hausiert" ,from "Hausieren" - peddling wares. This ties in with the occupations of the other residents as trader, small goods dealer etc.
I also like the occupation "abgelebter Mann". One foot in the grave?
