Well i find Gymnastics very Labouring  but then again i'm not 20 anymore

Gooogling "Gymnastic labourer" brought up one very dodgy-looking result.

Presumably a Gym Master would have different apparatus to erect and maintain, for which he would need a labourer.

To me it indicates that he is a labourer but is only recently an ex gymnast he is only 20 and may have been hoping to continue with a gymnastic profession,
You can almost here him, or his mother proudly declaring
"he does  gymnastics, however he's doing a bit of labouring at the moment"

Hello ,
thought I might as well stick my two penorth in ,
                                  Could it be a corruption locally of Gemester or gamester
meaning a gambler. Or even Gang master as in foreman.
                     What a pity you cant ask the enumerator !!!!

Just as well for some of these 19th century enumerators that we can't get our hands on them ...

Perhaps the 100 year rule is to protect the enumerators as much as the subjects!
