Jill. I agree with Fitty, it looks like Printer Reeler - whatever one of those is.  Could you post a bigger section of the page so we can see some other examples of the writing?  May make more sense then perhaps.

I guess the name of this chap is David Richardson from the jpg name, could you post the image of the name that would help to see if it is a "d" or "l" in the second word.


Cheers,
Pam

It is fairly surely  Printer Feeder. A boy pre-apprentice would have the task of replenishing the paper in the feed pile of a printing press.

Thanks all of you.   I think I agree with Hackstaple but here is a larger image (I hope!)

The 'F' in Boot Finisher & 'd' in many of the Leeds do point to the occupation being Printer Feeder.
