This might make it easier to read...

Could it possibly be a work address,such as Sharpe St Ho(use) or Wo(rks)?

Thanks for looking Roger.

I've just re-checked the original Register, and this entry relates to 'Parent's Occupation'. (Header Title). Could is be a L/Sharpener? Lathe sharpener??

 Presumably '86 Clarendon' is the Home Address...

Could be the name of the firm he worked for -- Sharpes & Co., or similar ?

Hi Romilly

I've been looking at the image enlarged from the original site for the last 10 mins and can only come up with Shampooer/Hs  - I don't think it is     The others have fathers with fairly obvious occupations.  Will take a look at a few more pages.

Ps  - I think Bookbox has got it

Many Thanks Bookbox and Gadget.

Yes, I think it must be 'Sharpe and Co'.
See:

'1843 Sharp Brothers and Company, Manchester Became Sharp, Stewart and Company in 1852'.

'1843 Sharp Brothers and Company, Manchester Became Sharp, Stewart and Company in 1852'

In view of that, it probably reads 'Sharp, St. & Co.'
