Ther's no upward stroke in the middle of the word, so I would say 'weaver'

Yer thats Winder. Married now. Whats your point

Either census recorder put it down wrong or which I think is most likley is Winder Weaver in the mill. (Farting weaver!)

Similar as  all part of cotton production

Cotton winder         Cotton mill worker who wound the thread on weaving looms


http://www.scotsfamily.com/occupations.htm

The old cottage weaver was a weaver interlinking treads in a pattern
 skilled apprentice trained


the miller worker was the machine operator/setter/feeder &
the machine was the weaver.Hence Weaver was a general term for unskilled  weaver-warper/winder operator
