Thanks for putting up the image Kay.
I gave up trying to get into the site Glinny put the link to after 3 pages of 'capachas' and personal details you had to fill in to prove you weren't a robot!
Always better just to see the image rather than have to navigate to another site.
Still none the wiser though! :(
Though it does look like the first word might be 'Window'.

Looking at the way the D is formed in the surnames, I think the second word might be Dresser, as Kay suggests, so I'll vote for Window Dresser. Although clearer, the crossed out version in the 'condition' column is too cramped to read.

It may well be Window but the first letter doesn't look like the W in Worker in the top marriage. Not that I have a suggestion as to what it could be.

Where it is written originally under his status of 'Bachelor' -- in a deeper ink -- it does indeed look like Window Dresser. This is crossed out but still fairly legible,
In the occupation section - I agree Window -- but the second word doesn't look like anything I've ever heard of!
Do you have any birth certs of children which show his occupation? (Just out of interest.)

I think the second word is Assist(ant).
I'm not sure the first letter on the first word is a W.
