Occupation?
« on: Friday 21 April 17 12:58 BST (UK) »
I need a bit of help trying to figure out the occupation listed in between commercial traveller and civil service clerk - can anybody help? If it helps, it is my great-great uncle's entry in the 1911 census from Greenock.

However, the occupational code for Platers and Riveters was 681. The code shown here is 682 which is 'Ship - other workers in iron'.

It could be that the coder couldn't work out what it said and coded it in the 'other' category.   I think the image is an enlargement of the original and I certainly enlarged it to try to work out what it said.
