Indeed! The 'Dock L' is, in any case, written by a checker and not the enumerator - this checker seemed to have been very keen on adding categories etc.
There seem to have been 3 different people involved - the enumerator; then a checker writing in a different hand and with a different pen/pencil; and then yet another person using a big thick pen/pencil and adding all those X's and, apparently, scoring through Emily's occupation.

PaulaToo's image makes the first word a bit clearer - it looks to me like 'General'.
For a woman, 'General' is usually followed by 'servant', but I don't think this is the case here - the ending of the second word looks like '..er' (Compare with the ending of 'Labourer' on the line below).
A possibility is that the enumerator has entered John's occupation on the wrong line, and it reads 'General Labourer'. What was he doing in previous census years?

I've looked and looked at this - and played with all sorts of levels, negatived it, etc. and i can only come up with the same as Tati and a few others - Green grocer - I'm more sure of the Green than the grocer but what else goes with green

Something which keeps puzzling me is WHY the entry was scored through.
And the only reason I can think of is that whatever was written there was not a recognized occupation.
But then why not also score through the stamped 'worker'?

Debbie,
Do you have the census references for 1891, 1881 and 1861?
What was John's occupation in them? Were they married by 1861 - and if not what was Emily's ms and occupation?
Was there an occupation for Emily on their marriage certificate?

I was going to add a comment to this earlier but decided against it ....
But ... surely if the occupation was crossed thorugh, it was incorrect, therefore it is not your Emily's occupation, and irrelevant to your research .... ?

Hi All,
Ok, on the 1881, if I have the correct John Taylor, he was a general labourer.
In 1887 he married Emily (no occ) & he was a BISCUIT MAKER
Emily in 1881, is possibly listed as Emily VERNELL, a housemaid (domestic) Emily's correct maiden name was VERONELLI, but this was greatly mispelt over the years & her father changed their branch to TAYLOR. So on the marriage she's Emily Taylor, marrying another Taylor.
So, does anyone else agree with my train of thought that is was actually John's occ, not Emily's, & that it MAY have read biscuit maker?
Many thanks for all your suggestions, I just couldn't read anything at all.
Why didn't I have more simple names in my family tree? Guess it wouldn't have been so much fun though
