James' Occupation looks like Labourer Light ----(something)? Light Burn? (could it be an employer's business name or area)?

Full name looks like Charles William Bogg?

It's always good to include areas for deciphering whether name/street name/area/occupation etc. to help as it can give pointers to possibilities where there's uncertainty as is shown here.

All info. related is a great help.

Add...Crossed posts Kay but ditto (place name), it's amazing how extra little bits of info. can make a big difference to answering queries.

Many thanks to you all, and next time I will put where the record is.  I have just found Lightburn. 
Lightburn is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated north of the River Clyde. It takes its name from the Light Burn which flows through the area, mostly in culvert.
