The occupation underneath bricklayer says ................. (something) barge.

The nearest I can come up with is "worker on barge" or can anybody see something different ???

I think it's "worker on barge" too. 

It's one of those funny "W"'s that always confuse me.

I would hazard a guess at worker on barge

Looks a lot like those crazy W's doesn't it?

I'll happily go with the "... on barge" part.

The first word is not so easy.  I think it ends -er.   (  That's a big help!  ;D )

Well Ithink it's 'Worker on Barge'. Strange handwriting as Sally says with a closed o that looks like an i afterwards.
