occupation please

[Ellenmai]

When enlarged it does look like the third letter has a curve at the top, so Bookbox could be right with Drover

[Ruskie]

I thought Drover too before I read the other replies.

Second letter looks like an 'a' to me. I think we would need a bigger image and more of the person's writing to compare.

At 200% and 400% it is Dxxver    It looks like Daover which is nonsense, so Drover looks more probable.

What country is involved?

Second letter looks like an 'a' to me.

It does to me too.

Could the first letter be a C  occupation Carver.

Are there other capital letters on the m/c that begin with a D or C to compare ?

Do you have the person on any censuses to check their occupation?

[tonepad]

Could  the occupation  be Carter?

[Ellenmai]

Larkspur is the marriage within the time of a Census where you could compare the said person's occupation?

Thank you for all the replies.
Sorry its not bigger, beyond my scope to manage that I am afraid 
I am looking at Newark, Nottinghamshire.
Thanks Stan used your tip!
The marriage was 1856.
1851 census he was 16 and no occupation listed.His step father is a chain cottoner, so no help there.
1861 census he was a butchers labourer.
I too, am pretty sure the first letter is a D as it is the same as in Deceased under both fathers names.
