***COMPLETED***What is this occupation please?
« on: Wednesday 07 December 05 17:35 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone read the second occupation on the attached snippet of census image?

It's .......... Maker.  I can see the Sh at the beginning of the word and what looks like th at the end.

No doubt someone will be able to spot it straight away!!

Many thanks

I'd go with SHIRT, although I would like the reference to see the original.

I don't see a 'th' at all at the end of the word  ???
