Help Identifying Job

[GemmaL]

I'm trying to identify the abbreviation written next to my 3x great uncle's job, I've tried doing some googling but haven't come up with anything.

Any help or ideas would be great

I am not bringing up the whole line,all I can get is ;”Labouring Special Con”
I wonder if it is Constable,so he would be employed as a Labourer but serving as a Special Constable
also.Not sure if that would be a position with remuneration or if it was completely voluntary.
Can you post the whole line?
Not sure what the  C.I.A Ro F Birtly Lights bit is.
Hope this helps.         Viktoria.

That is the whole line sadly, the end of the 1939 census cuts off at Con.

If you can search the '39 register his name is Ralph Barren 24th Feb 1891

I've been wondering if it's military related but I can't find anything even similar to it which is very odd

Blimey I feel really stupid now, I should have known this!!
have you any idea what the C.I.A might mean?

[youngtug]

Light Labouring.  Special Constable. as Viktoria said I would think.

Haven't a clue about the C.I.A. though.

Sorry Gemma,, I did not see the last line of your original post,I’ve been stating the blooming obvious.
