Help needed reading 'occupation' please

[polidor]

Many thanks Rootschatters,  looking back through my Totterdell certs there was a Totterdell father on a marriage cert as Excise Officer in 1846 [not George's father tho'.] so looks like it was in the family. Wonder why George  went on to be a 'Woolen Warehouse' man?

Make our lives a lot easier if they all stayed living in the same place and with the same job!!!

That would be a wee bit too easy!
were,s the fun in that!
kind regards,Billy.

By having a play with the contrast etc, it looks like it could be 'Officer of Bank'

Last letter of third word is a k

Ian C

Sure looks like last word ends with k.
"Officer of"  seems clear
Then next or so letter looks like x but I could not make Excise or Customs

I was an Officer of C&E but back in1841 I understand the one were Officer of Customs and the other Excise Men.
I see John was an Exciseman and on opposite page there is an Officer of Customs.

I could not actually find George in 1841 or 1851 - I wonder what names Ancestry has transcribed?
I was hoping their copy might help the reading.
I see the 1861 that he was born Gosport c1814 and I suppose Woolen warehouseman might mean that he ran the warehouse rather than chucked the skins or bales about.

The k in the last word is part the answer to born on county ie. n.

Only because it strays over the line, I think. Could the last word be Clerk?

[Ron Lankshear]

Thanks for the Tollerdett

Ancestry image is much better than the posted.

the last letter is not k overflowing into born into county it is an N for not born in county. The n starts with a very high loop and is the same in other items on page.

The last word appear to start E and I make the whole word out as Excise ie Officer of Excise

The black part is a statistician's tick

The image - item wanted is at bottom but I have included other to show the flowery n I mentioned

My apologies, I can see the N now on the clearer image.
