Looks like
Albert Terrace Moule Road
Umbrella furniture polisher
Coach victman

[Necromancer]

probably ViceMan - recognised in the trade .... altho I've also seen ViewMan ...

[Ruskie]

10 Albert Terrace + a word I can't read - Purley?
Umbrella Furniture Polisher?
Coach - looks like an "M" has been added - and it does look like Viceman

[Garethboxing]

10 Albert Terrace, Morely/Mosely Rd?
  Presumably if you check the census you'll be able to find that road listed separately but nearby (and given your name, it's probably Moseley )

Viceman seems correct, but it's unclear whether Coach has been crossed out and replaced by M - short for motor, maybe?

And definitely umbrella furniture polisher - what that means, of course, is another question

I dont think its actually crossed out - its more likey to be part of the analysis process when the returns were scanned thru and jobs etc categorised ....

Umbrella furniture would be the  handle and tip-which (at that time)on most of the brollies would be made out of polished wood

Definitely Moseley Road - I went back a couple of pages in the census to where it was written in bigger letters 
Agree with the others on the occupations, Coach Viceman and Umbrella Furniture Polisher.

Cheers

I thought it said Purley Road until I saw Prue had checked in the actual census.

Weren't the tips of umbrella's made of metal ?  Brass, perhaps ? 

Agree with 'furniture' for an umbrella ... you have 'door furniture' = handles, hinges, locks, etc.
