The occupation of Archibald PARK is Printer Pressman (not Dressman).  Not only does this make sense (he is presumably working a printing press) but the 'P' of Pressman is the same as the 'P' in Printer and in Park - but different from the enumerator's upper case 'D's (see 'D's in Daur and Dressmaker and also in the occupation of his Govan-born niece, Margt. ROSS - Darner).
