Can't distinctly understand this word, the first letter seems so ambiguous.

Bit tricky there!  Any more clues possibly from before or after census records - or electoral rolls?

I agree with JB, a bit tricky try to get some more clues, but I would hazzard a guess to start that it is "Tailor" :-\

You don't say what country this marriage occurred in, but if in England, Scotland or Wales, I would look for the person in the 1891 census to see what his occupation is. I would also look at the other writing on the certificate to see if there are other examples of that first letter.

I can't work out what this word is.

Hi all, as it says 1892 marriage it looks to be in Aston Warwickshire, there is an Elizabeth Broughton b c 1871 Birmingham occ Scratch Brusher in 1891, and in 1901 an Elizabeth Jackson aged 30 occ Scratch Brusher b Birmingham in Aston, James is now a Bricklayers Lab

Um, Tailor (which looks most likely) to Bricklayer's Labourer is a bit of a stretch .... Nothing is impossible though.  :-\

The occupation is for James Jackson, father of James Jackson who marries Elizabeth!!!  James the groom is a Labourer  ;D

If you look at the t in the line"the mark of Charles Evans" you will see that the t is identical.  So tailor would be my opinion.

(the image is on A*ty)

I just find "tailor" a little off for that group and the chap has really made an effort for his "r"s.

Other than that.....
