Title: Henry Barnard Occupation from Census
Post by: mcadamsd on Thursday 12 November 20 18:22 GMT (UK)

Trying to decipher occupation of Henry Barnard, 22 years old, from 1851 census. HO107/1542/389 p 15

His full name from baptism is Charles Henry Barnard.  Baptism 27 Apr 1829 St Martin in the Fields, England.  Son of David Andrew Barnard, a printer, and Rebecca Shaw

Appears to be same occupation as a possible match in 1871 census from Brighton, Sussex RG10/1072/66 p 36

Yes I agree with osprey -- Grainer.
