Occupation on Census

[Gadget]

Best i can make of the first letter is a U 

There was such a task as upper binding  in shoe making- done by women before the introduction of machinery.

Added - there is a possible letter behind that stroke - could it be Vi ?

[trystan]

Yes - I was thinking along the same lines - that "[something] Binder" could be something associated with shoe making.

Did they use snake skin - Vipera binder 

[Stumped!]

Is it possible that she was binding Opera Hats, perhaps?

i thought it was a 'V' or 'U' but it didn't make sense the Binder is quite clear.

Any clues as to the occupation on earllier or later census?

The top of the first letter looks to curve at the top right, with perhaps a very feint stroke downwards. I wonder if the mark before the p is part of the first letter? Still, nothing really makes sense before "pera" ... except O ...

[toni*]

are you sure the second / third letter is a P and not a small H elongated ?

[Gadget]

I see that Di is off line 

Di - could you possibly give the census ref so that we can have a look at more of the handwriting, please?
