Still think the first word is 'General'. Am also inclined to think that the occupation is really John's and is 'General Labourer'. Each word looks too long to me for it to be 'Green Grocer'.
That long stroke through the second word isn't part of a letter in it - someone has made similar long curving strokes through other occupations on the page. Eg. through 'Blacksmith' a couple of lines above.
Added Sorry, I see that Geoff has already pointed out the curving stroke thing. What I meant to say is that if the second word is 'Grocer' the 'G' is nothing like the first 'G', and there is no downward stroke as there would be if it was lower case.

It might be 'keeping house' or house keeper. A couple of my ladies on censuses were listed that way.
That first letter does look like a 'G' though. hmm....

I looked a few pages back from the entry to see the general writing of the enumerator, and there is an entry which is clearly General Labourer.
What do you think, comparing it with the one which has been so comprehensively scored out?
Hope this comes out clearly enough!
