I'm thinking that the best thing might be for yellingbo to contact SP and ask them if they have any ideas.  They're very good about these things and have solved quite a few indecipherables .

I have found Ann Mckenzie  in 1841,Daughter! 1861 domestic servant, 1871 general servant.   As for Christian I cant find her in any other census, or her death record either.... she may have gone to Inverness or even  married!  Scotlands people have a list of occupations and the only one that comes near to your suggestions is "Cremer" or "Cramer "   Stall holder/pedler...     
Thankyou all for your help.

The enumerator has used capitals at the start of words. I don't think the second word begins with L, if you compare the L of "Lodger" earlier in the line. It almost looks like a capital S in the word "Servant" which appears in the third line from the top.

If it is an S at the start of the second word could it be Sewer?  As in a lady who sewed garments or objects if indeed the first word is object  :-\

Please let us know if you find out!

It might not be an occupation...from my Scots dictionary: object :"deformed or diseased person; an imbecile; someone deserving of pity"

I've come across "object since childhood" on the census, mind there's not many examples of its use to be found.

Good explanation, Jen  :)

Could it therefore be Object Lame?

Yes. It's "Object leam (= lame)".
