Any help with Helena Hopkins occupation would be greatly appreciated. I think I've been staring at it far too long :o Thanks

I see Timekeeper too, followed by (Brewers').

The mark through Brewers confuses, but it was added later when they were classifying occupations etc - there's an identical one through Musician on the line above.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Thank you so much. I'd definitely looked at it too long.

Can you post the full image? I too see Timekeeper but it could also easily be Innkeeper or Homekeeper with a little bit of imagination. Comparing to other letters on the page might help.

We are only allowed to post a small portion of an image as posting the full image breaches copyright. Perhaps the OP can give the census reference instead so that it can be looked up ?
