Hi Betty,

Would it be possible for you give us the census details for Frederick please?

Kind regards,

Pels

Could it be '..........and Beer Retailer'?

I'll spend a bit more time on the even more indecipherable part!

I agree, the last bit is definitely beer retailer, I think!

The first bit at the moment is indecipherable!

I'm clutching at straws here, I think, but on the basis that my suggestion '....and Beer Retailer' is correct, could the first word be 'Vintner'?

I'll work on the second word now.....

The census details -
It's Frederick Forster age 32 living in Wittersham, Kent
1871 census  Class: RG10; Piece: 953; Folio: 116; Page: 2;

Many thanks

Betty

In 1888, on his daughter's marriage cert, he is described as 'licensed Victualer'  that is if it's the same person.

.....should have added 'Vintner' - as in 'Wine-seller'.

Could the first word be Painter or Printer ? The last word 'Detailer' ?

[Pels.]

Thanks Betty,

Could it be Painter, Glazier and Beer retailer?  

Odd combination I know?
