Per (Pre)-Monitor (per annum or pre) inspection  & if anything needing service found - necessary maintenance given.

Modern term - Service engineer (fitter or technician)

ie - examples :- MOT inspection mechanic or annual central heating boiler inspector/plumber

~~~~~~~~~~~~

But could be Permanent Way

Could be either or same meaning (line [tapper] monitor inspector/maintenance trackman)

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

'Permanent way maintenance' - this has been confirmed to me by an ex-British Rail employee who held a track-walking ticket.

'Heavy work' - as described previously by Christine53 - remember that the 1939 Register was used for the administration of rationing.  Adding these words entitled the person to extra food rations.

Thank you CarolA3 and the many other members that have helped me with this.

Definitely sticking with 'Permanent way maintenance' and adding a note about the rations.
